0mbps at -70dBm? Is it any slower at -90dBm??
Hahahahaha
I must go find that coat..... again.....

Then when I connected to that, it sat on 1800 for a few seconds, before connecting to a signal with Cell ID 6 and a signal of -96dBm, this signal let me make calls without it dropping to H+ too. Speeds were much higher than the 1800 too.
The LTE APN only seems to connect when I'm in an area with 1800, so if the phone cannot pick up an 1800 signal, it deselects the LTE APN and moves back to the H3G normal one.

Ok, so I don't get any of that.
If 800 will only connect when you have 1800 then it will simply not connect at all since it will then also have 3G (most of the time). What the hell is the point of that?
What is the point of what they are doing?
Surely if for example you are outside a building with 1-2 bars 3G and go inside where it would normally drop, it should then connect to a, 2-4 bar 800 signal?
If not, what the hell is the point of having 800 in the first place?
Did that make sense? What are your thoughts on this?
