Downgrading of 3G Data Speeds

On Monday I wrote about networks altering the speed of 3G data to make 4G look more attractive and try and sign up more users to these new plans.

Blog reader Jah managed to find out the following –

“I managed to get T-Mobile to confirm that they now limit download speeds on their 3G network to around 4mbps (but in Bristol I found I can still get 10mbps for some reason). My 4G SIM in the same area as my 3G SIM on the same 3G network can download at 20mpbs! So EE/T-mobile actually set limits for 3G.”

  1. I ran a test on EE 4G today at Waterloo train station (London). At this busy station I managed 39mbps download and 20mbps upload speeds. Impressive. This is faster than my home broadband which is the high speed BT Infinity service (max download I can achieve is 36mbps). But I think as more consumers move to 4G, I suspect performance will reduce.
