4G is here

[Kurtis]

their plans include tethering

[dub]

but 1gb is useless for a computer, or even a phone in proper use

smh at how these companies faff around with all their deals, remember in 09-10 T-mob had 3GB data plans as standard?

bet i'm gonna get stuck with some sh*t data deal when i have to upgrade

[Kurtis]

yeah f*ck this, imma stick with 3G

[Haze-e]

I know EE is in the process of launching the 4G and all that but is anyone on the network having issues with their net atm?

Phone is pissing me off. Keeps diconnecting intermittently.

[Black.]

Them prices are a joke, pointless

Phone is pissing me off. Keeps diconnecting intermittently.

Last 3-4 weeks been having moments where I get no signal at all for around 10mins at a time.

[Kurtis]

3G speeds will do me fine for now tbh

[Lenny]

That's a decent ping

[dub]

mines 5.something which is surprisingly decent, i swear my phone and its handling of browser apps must be sh*t or something 'cause theres no way it feels like its half the speed of my desktop

problem is - smartphone usage has shot up, so have mobile broadband speeds, but NETWORK CAPACITY is the issue

they cant handle how fast demand is growing hence these stupid prices and limits to try and slow down the boom in bandwith demands

mobile interenet is getting fast but i wonder if the future is in city wide wifi instead of using telephone networks

[Lenny]

How do mobile networks know when your tethering?

[Kurtis]

i think they just notice a spike in the data usage

[dub]

More time your browser tells the website you visit what hardware and software you're running, so I'm guessing that gets passed by the ISP as well.

[Kurtis]

must be some kind of data protection law against that type of thing

especially for something like charging more for tethering

[dub]

Definitely, there should be, asking for payment twice for the same thing. I could understand if you only had to pay extra if it was extending an unlimited package to include tethering, like GiffGaff does. But limiting it to a specific amount then charging more to have it used by a different platform is ridiculous.

That would be epic

[Kurtis]

loads of problems with that

I see the EE shop in Streatham the other day. Logo is so dead whoever got paid to do that shafted them nicely.

[The Flyest]

trust

just reminds me of the jeezy snowman logo

[gattsu]

speedtest app talked 4 people i know out of 4g

[Brem]

EE 4g service is gonna be shed compared to O2 and Vodafone when they drop it next year. Till then, unfortunately these guys have the monopoly.

[dub]

why would O2 and Vodafone be any better? they're usually the guys ripping people off, EE are jus doing it 'cause they have the monopoly
