Back in 2012 on my old iPhone 4s so no DC-hsdpa speed we had to travel up to Newcastle upon Tyne from Staffordshire on the opening night of the London Olympics, back then on three we were able to take in turns watching the ceremony on catchup TV and filmontv almost all the way, with only a few drop outs here and there. Sadly doubt that would now be possible with the same level of success on three due to mast congestion, on EE unless you selected 3G only you would have 4g one minute and be stuck on orange mast hell in the rural zones and he other 2 sadly seem to be falling back into providing data to urban areas only as I see little sign of any rural masts having been upgraded,
We should be buzzing about the speeds seen in this thread, but networks are only as strong as there weakest link, and they all still have many weak links to sort out..

Netflix has a very intelligent app because it will buffer ahead more when the connection is faster so it will keep going when the connection slows down.

i hit 167.5Mbps on Vodafone in Victoria at 7am

You got a speed test to show us ? That's impressive would mean cat6 is being rolled out.

I'm with Three and live in Manchester. If I ignore Speedtest and just use the phone, it's speedy and works well. In some places there's no service (Ford Madox Brown pub for instance), but where it exists, it's speedy.

I've no reason to look elsewhere.

Indeed on another regular rural route I do there is a black spot for about half a mile (2G only or nothing). Netflix nearly always just carries on playing until 3G is picked up again.
I've never actually timeed how long it will play with no signal but in some cases it must be nearly a minute or more.

Was done on a M9...annoying the 4G just shows 4G as HTC have not done 4G+ in their software like Samsung do

Know it would be hard to see if it doesn't show 4g+ but how widespread was the Cat6 coverage based on your experience?

I've personally only seen it around Leicester Square so far emanating out to Piccadilly and Shaftsbury Avenue.

As others have said they have seen it in other areas, again I haven't been to those areas, but so far its HIGHLY limited in my opinion.

Tonight was a lot more erratic around the west end

some 60-70s down

40-50s up

no headline speeds like before

guessing that latest iPhone carrier update has dumped a lot of people onto the 2600mhz band now

not sure
