Yup could very well be but the connection dropped for about an hour or so then when it returned the signal was weaker... Even with contention the signal should be similar right?
If I saw this antenna before the other one I definitely would have opted for this

10m and 5m cable length for about 40-50€ Reasonable price, directional and better gain
To be honest I am not sure if cell shrinkage is the same issue with 4g as it was with 3g services

Hi, I am in Dunshaughlin and use a Meteor 4G sim in Lumia 1020 4G phone, I am not in a 4G area altough sometimes I get a 4G reception with one bar on the display, most times I am on 3G, H and H+. the speed test below (hope you can see it) was done with the phone displaying H+. Ping: 101ms. Download: 0.21 Mbps. Upload: 0.74Mbps. I have just spoken to Meteor and they say no problem in the network and suggested something else like radio interference may be causing the problem, is this possible? I have also got a Huawei E586 wireless hotspot modem (not 4G) and have had very slow internet access when connected by wifi to my laptop but only when the modem is displaying "H" usually OK when modem is displaying "3G" What can I do to resolve this?
Just got Boards.ie message that I can not post links to images as I am a new user!
Ping: 101ms. Download: 0.21 Mbps. Upload: 0.74Mbps.
Keep at them. If there is interference to their signal then they would need to investigate that and fix that since that is their problem.

About the average for the last few days with the signal varying from 2-3 bars now!
Don't know where I got that 30Mb download speed when I first got it... It hasn't been as good since! Even if I did just get that a few times. Still not too bad though... Anything over 10Mb is fine with me really.0 -

Pretty good that. I Got some awesome speeds when I initially got 4g but averaging around 12-15Mb down and 10Mb up. Cant complain really, pretty stable and consistent. Sometimes the odd youtube video get's a bit laggy but sorts itself out. Can't get 3 bars of signal though! I reckon there's a few Mb left in that extra bit of signal.

Got a text off them last Friday, they are upgrading the network in our area, we can expect outages this week for a time. They maybe installing 4G ? I'm still on 3G (so called, warlikedave always annoys me with his speed results :eek: ) Hopefully a lot of people switch over to 4G here and reduce contention

I have Vodafone 4G on my phone I can post some speed tests in a bit .
I got those exact same texts last summer when Vodafone were installing 4G on the mast in my area took them about a week to fully get it up and running was getting faint signal here and there until I seen them working on the mast . Few hours later 4G appeared on my phone with full strong signal .
Hopefully they will upgrade your area to 4G
Oh and also if they are doing the 4G upgrade my 3G disappeared the day they were doing the upgrades was on GPRS so this is usually a sign they are doing something 0 -

Tried to post this last night but failed. Connection kept dropping about every five minutes. Couldn't even get chance to post this result between drop outs.
This was taken at around 10 last night.
And this is supposed to be after the "network upgrade" in our area?0 -

If your location is where I think it is, I was visiting that area last Summer and had excellent 4G coverage from Meteor....might be worth a try?0
