Amazing!
What a world we are living in, back of beyond in sunny south-west Scotland, and today after all these years on just 2G, I am now getting 32MB/s down and 7MB/s up from a 4G service (1800MHz) inside my house on my iPhone!
Copper broadband is still pants though... Bravo EE! |

Amazing wearing off a bit
Your cup runneth over because you've suddenly got a fast connection,
you hastily put a message on a forum with a wee mistake because you're a 'layman' and.. opprobrium desendeth upon yer heid. By all means enjoy yourselves chaps.

Congratulations! It's certainly a good feeling... Can you share which mast or the area? The EE coverage map hasn't been updated for ages, and I'm curious to know whether much has been happening in the more rural areas of Scotland.

Sadly not so impressive around the Horning area of the Norfolk Broads, no service for much of the day

Mast is an O2 site share at Gatehouse-of-Fleet in Dumfries & Galloway. Looks like EE is 'filling in' the A75 corridor to Stranraer. Still not showing 4G on coverage map at my post code. Surrounding area west has had 4G signal from main transmitter on Cambret Hill in the last year.

Visited Skipsea on the east coast at the weekend. My God.
Was like going back in time. Struggled to get a 2G connection, couldn't send whatsapp messages, struggled with calls. What was funny is at the cliff edge, I managed to pick up two bars of 4G, 20 yards down the road, nothing. |

Interestingly EE have applied for planning permission for quite a few new masts to be built in this area. Must be filling in a few black spots.

Quick question for those with VoLTE enabled handsets. Does VoLTE calls handoff to 3G and vice versa. Also, will a call originating on 3G handoff to 4G or is it as at present with 3G where a call handing off to 2G stays on 2G for the remainder irrespective of whether 3G is available from the BTS the phone is using.
Not been able to try this on my wife's iPhone 6S and my HTC M9 doesn't yet support it (hopefully not too long) but curious to know. Handing off to VoLTE from WI-Fi calling and back on the iPhone is pretty cool and works well. |

Handing off to VoLTE from WI-Fi calling and back on the iPhone is pretty cool and works well. Going the other way (Reverse SRVCC) is a thing but is very hard to implement and is not really required on the EE network. Currently the network layers are set up so 2G is the biggest footprint, 3G in the middle and 4G the smallest footprint. So calls only need to drop down a layer. Once power levels are raised VoLTE users won't see the 2G/3G layers anymore anyway. |

Congratulations. Excellent. It must be a right bugger to get decent backhaul up there in places.
