Vodafone vs Meteor speeds

jeffk

Can someone post a speed test on meteor 4g data please?

I signed up for a Vodafone deal and I and many others assumed be much better speeds.

So I'm curious to see what speeds meteor are giving

Usually I get between 70 and 100 with Vodafone 4G

Highest I got was 112 down.

I'm on the sim only RED Connect 12 Month plan.

I just got another phone (iPhone 6s) that's on the VodafoneX plan and they got over 100mb.

That's still not bad.

I don't got those speeds everywhere though, in other locations around the city I might get between 40 - 60mb.

Non coverage is another issue, just outside Maynooth the other day and couldn't get any data.

Ive a feeling they are restricting the speeds, hopefully someone posts meteor speed test now

What phone are you using ?

I know Vodafone are using band 20 (800mhz) for 4G in some rural areas and not all phone will work with this, for example the iPhone 5.

Beats Tesco at 2-6 Mb but mostly 2

Huawei Ascend G7, says it works on band 20

Don't think that phone supports LTE advanced which is cat 6 and above.

That would probably explain the speed difference but wouldn't account for non coverage.

HSPA 42.2/5.76 Mbps, LTE Cat4 150/50 Mbps

At CAT4 you can peak at 130Mb or so (Ive seen it) but the cell has to be really really empty. CAT6+ devices will benefit from "4G+" features (using two cells at once) in built up areas.

Chances are Jeff just lives in a busier area. Im on a micro cell so get great speeds while 100m you would be on a main cell for the area which is a lot slower.

Nonoperational

Get 200Mbit + on Vodafone mobile in my apartment.

People complain Vodafone are expensive, but with speeds like that you see where your money goes.
