On EE, 4G here is normally about 7Mbs down and 2 up, on 3G (HSDPA) about 14 down and 6 up.  ::)

Evil Everywhere here is generally about 28Mbps, wifi about 20Mbps (mostly likely due to number of wifis in this immediate area).

I occasionally see similar to Zirk at work, where 3G is faster than 4G.

I was actually commenting on how shite my wifi is, not how good 4G is.  :(

Try the same test with whatever plugged into the router....not using wifi.....if its many times faster than that proves your router's wifi is shite.....then consider buying a better wifi router  :y

Not unusual - my wired PC easily manages 60Mbps, even with all the OOF server traffic.  But my wifi bottoms out at about 20Mbps, despite the actual wifi headline speed being 300Mbps.

Worth making sure you are on a free or co-channel (in that order) first, and not badly on an overlapping channel, before splashing cash :y

On 2.4Ghz, that effectively means Ch1 or Ch6, and maybe Ch11 if really lucky.


I can see 50+ Wifi networks on 2.4Ghz from where I'm sat now (admittedly 3 are mine ;D), so no chance of a free channel, but found 1 that just has co-channel. My other 2 wifi networks are on overlappers :(

I haven't got a clue what you're talking about. It's a sky router with the sky box plugged in and everything else on wifi. That's only three iPads and a laptop though.

You should know by now, that any mention of, computing, software,etc gets un-Intelligible replies, in ott gobbledygook. :D
