Testing: EE's 4G/5G

[PB2000]

Has anyone tested EE at any of the Glasgow Subway stations? Would be interested to see what bands they have deployed.

I haven't used the subway since last year, might take a wee trip on it when I've got some spare time.

Always pleased to see solid 4G and fast speeds at Glasgow Central low level and Argyle Street station.

Hi folks just sharing the texts I got from the ScanCom EE unlimited data sim.
I guess it's just a standard EE feature that I don't have access to.

Thought I'd just mention it anyway.

By the way, the sim deal seems to be sold out on Amazon for now, must have proved very popular.

This is available on their website directly, £199.99 expires March 2024.

Is it possible to move this to esim? As it's ideal for me to mess about with if I can run my main number along side, and Three don't offer esim next cheapest would be a Virgin mobile SIM £6 per month just to have my number as esim.

That price doesn't include VAT though CarlO1460, so works out more expensive than the Amazon price. (Still currently sold out)

Still a great price though for unlimited EE data, as long as you dont want calls or texts.

I dont believe you can move it to an esim, it's as is, and you have no access to the EE account at all.

They replied saying they can move it to esim for £10+vat, so £252 ish for 20 months unlimited EE data. £12.60pm if it does need vat added.

Hi Carl,

I had mine moved to an esim, I just sent scancom an email and had to pay £10 + vat then they emailed it out to me

Is the SIM fully available throughout the EE network, no caps or restrictions etc?

Great news for you then CarlO1460, I stand corrected.

 

[Tom153619]

Yes other than the 600gb cap and no text or calling

 

[CarlO1460]

The cap is on majority of EE contracts, is enforced or have you not managed to get that far?

Not got that far yet but someone on Amazon had asked about the cap and scancom said they'd never been told by EE to enforce it on anyone

Q:Are these unlimited or is the a cap on them


A: As per EE's fair use policy, 600GB each month is a benchmark - EE monitors and if it exceeds 600GB regularly by a large amount over a given time frame they reserve the right to cap it at 600GB renewed each month. From our experiences, this cap has never really been an issue for our customers.

Best result I've had so far from EE 5g so far, but once again 4g seems to be pulling most of the weight

Bittersweet day today - EE have managed to get a pole granted in the same place that Three was denied earlier last year!

Any idea what sort of setup this'll be?

Edit: on a sidenote, does anyone know an easy way to navigate through a newer 'Force' type planning permission portal? Completely unusable...

are you sure this isn't a 3 mast or a shared ee/3 mast as three still seem to appear as T-Mobile on bidb.

 

[GavinAshford]

Almost guaranteed to be Three (and probably Three alone, if there was not already an MBNL pole there beforehand). Very likely planned to be a max configuration pole of wonder (all the 4G and 5G), though it may vary at installation time.

Would be great if it turned out to be a Three mast! The Ashford planning permission page hasn't revealed much... doesn't seem to even have it lodged as an appeal/application.

Will be keeping an eye out on it in the coming weeks!

you will see as they upload the documents. there will be H3G or a 3 logo somewhere no doubt.

 

[CarlO1460]

Be real crap if Three were declined but EE were approved

EE Leeds city centre (Train station) at 1pm. Full 5G signal.

Best network in Leeds apparently...

Yes it's awful... even the free WiFi at Leeds train station is better (100mbit). Three 5G exists on the top floor there at about 300mbit
