Did your try it?

I'm able to get coverage from 4 different masts at my location, all 4g, yet it's not working. Airplane mode doesn't help, but if I reboot my phone I do get a 4g connection as normal for about a minute.
It's usually super congested with highs of 6-7mb and is often around 1mbps. I got a nice 20mbps with -110dBm, I assume because its kicked most people off it. It actually kicked me off to no service during the upload portion of my speedtest. I did check and it's still broadcasting 10mhz.
Same thing goes for the other sites in my area. There's maintenance planned on the 6th, but not today.”

My data is down atm and I have got network maintenance planned for the 9th October.

Indeed I did, and I couldn't do it, see first post on the previous page.

Spotted a 15MHz cell in Manchester, no difference in speeds for me still less than 2mbps but I'm right on the cell edge.
Anyone tried switching from the three.co.uk APN to the 3internet one? Fixed things for me in the 2013 outage.
No data in my part of West London, lost it from Clapaham onwards as well. There's a message on the coverage chart that there seems to be a problem. #makeitright

I heard they were going to put a 1Mbps cap on Devonbloke's mast so that it didn't go faster than his DSL. That's what Reg Kerswell told me anyway.

Since I see around 60mbps at MAX on both a 2x100MB SIM and on my EE+ contract data SIM then lifting the cap would only help in some really remote areas.
I can get results like that posted, where almost everything is 95-100 (sometimes it goes over, but I put that down to Speedtest not being 100% accurate) and I know 180 has been achieved on uncapped equipment.
Well I've managed to locate a used LG G4 on Three, so hopefully when I get it, I can finally test out the 800MHz network properly. I wouldn't mind using the G4 day-to-day.
Got 80Mbps on a mast today on 3. (https://imgur.com/4VJoH9f), I thought that was pretty good for 15MHz to be honest.

That's bloody amazing to be honest seen as though the theoretical maximum for 15MHz is 112.5Mbps so fair play there.

Congrats, I hope it wasn't too expensive. Let us know how you get on with it.

Indeed very nice speeds. If I'm not mistaken as of now you've just posted the fastest ever Three speedtest?
I wonder if the 100mbps barrier will be broken on Three anytime soon.

I too hope this happens as then it might start alerting EE to remove their 100Mbps cap maybe. I reckon it's possible to crack it.
EE seems to be taking up 4G+ as being nearer 90, with double speed at 60 and single speed at 30.
Maybe there's a plan to slowly increase speeds, to keep customers seeing improvements rather than everything all at once.
When Cat 9 comes, maybe that will be when EE goes to 120. I'm seeing a pattern emerging here!

Glasgow West End area has been updated with 15MHz bandwidth as well, but I haven't notice any increase in speed.
How to test if the extra 15Mhz has been added?
I am getting upload speeds over 4mb on H+ which is new for me.

Three 4G appearing now in certain areas of Grantham (Lincs) even though it Wasn't list of towns for this year. Speeds of about 30Mb
The S6 is great for testing signal c because I've found it updates ito reading much, much faster than other phones.
