Three coverage map updates.

800Mhz - http://gdurl.com/TyEs
1800Mhz - http://gdurl.com/Pbze

Purple = 3rd April, Red = 6th June
Thanks also Gavin. If EEs 800 is anything like that, the inbuilding coverage increase will be a nice compliment to their 4G1800.

Yea, will mean we'll actually be able to use 4G indoors!

What has happened to 3's 4G data speeds recently? Seems to be capped out at 30Mbps D/L ?, Anyone else experiencing this too?

I've just run a few speed tests and I'm getting 45.1 upload and 15.6 download.

I did max out at 60 download once while standing meters away from one of their masts.

The upload seems uncapped but definitely something has been changed with the download speeds??

Seems fine in Kent, 43mb down and 20mb odd up, it is early in the day, if there are restrictions perhaps they happen at peak times.

I think I've had some sort of speed cap since day one of 4G. I have never got the speeds others have had, even with the same phone as me, regardless of where I am

Could it be related to usage? I'm quite a heavy user, usually at around 30-40GB each month.

I've never seen anything above 25mbps regardless of my location.

I'm not too worried as long as I can carry out the tasks that I require, which 90% of the time I can.

My Local mast, when I have solid signal tops at around 87mbps download and 30mbps upload. I did a speedtest earlier with only half the signal bars and it peaked at 34 but eventually settled at around 30 download and 7.2 upload. I will test it again tomorrow .

Have enjoyed 800MHz and VoLTE in Stonehaven and Westhill lately (both in buildings where I previously got no 3G at all). Now it'd just be nice for Three to extend their 4G network westwards a bit to some of the smaller Aberdeenshire towns and villages! O2 and Vodafone appear to have been activating some rural 4G out here (both barely offered 3G previously), so hopefully Three won't get left behind.

I took a screenshot of the results-

Tested again solid 4G signal. Got a rather impressive 73 up and 24 down so definitely not capped for me.

Great News! Please could you make the download available for non-Three LG G4 users? It only shows the open Europe firmware in LG bridge for me which doesn't keep the VoLTE settings. It does connect to 800MHz LTE though.
Thanks in advance.

I like the little red dot for Aberystwyth is a sea of black!

I was getting 75/30 in Heswall on Sunday.
Now there's a place I know! What mast? Never seen that kind of speed there. I got 50Mb near Sainsburys Local the other day which would be the mast on Whitfield Lane

I did have quite a chuckle when I saw that Three are going to have to try a damn sight better than that in Wales if they wish to meet the 90% coverage target.

I'll have it up in about 30 mins, LG's servers are slow as hell downloading to my server.

EDIT: As promised, the Three branded LG G4 Marshmallow KDZ.
