Testing: EEs 4G - MVNOs

My TTM sim shows 33 too, and my old Virgin Media sim shows 38.... also just found that my Virgin sim is still active with 40GB Oomph Bundle still sitting on it, was only supposed to be disconnected two months ago.
Haha, still paying for it or free data 🤣

@Bubblesthefish6 is Mastdata app free again? They only have paid accounts afaik.
Yes, it’s free again for some aspects. I had a free trial and got access to the maps that show where the masts are. It’s free now tho but without the maps. That’s fine though as I have since found cellmapper.

UPDATE: TTM

I've had an email from TTM, and it does seem they are investigating the AMBR restriction seriously (like its not supposed to be there?)

We'll see what happens :)
I guess when they find out there is AMBR on EE they will be switching upstream providers to a different network ;)
 
Hmm, well as mentioned above really, I can't imagine that this AMBR is going to disappear but hey it might do.

Depends if BT are in the wrong for limiting it or not really.
Yeah, but I think they were slightly tricked by EE in this case. They seemed to fully and wholly believe the network didn't have AMBR and EE mustn't have told them. It could have been one of many scenarios, tbh.
 
Well I guess time will tell really, I'm going to see the month out with them before I make my mind up on their operation.

As I mentioned above there does seem to be some degradation to the TTM service compared to the Virgin Mobile service, but then my mums EE service isn't working so great but I'm yet to test that properly (*I need to lure her to better coverage area to take a test)

My gut tells me that I was too harsh on TTM in the beginning but I also know that if it wasn't for the public attention grabbing that they wouldn't of investigated and made the crucial adjustments that they have so far (800mhz)

So currently they do seem to be taking things seriously, with them responding again this evening

I agree. I think we may have been too quick to criticize when they as a company didn't know themselves there were restrictions. Really I think they should have tested before the release of the new network anyways but that was their decision.

Well... The AMBR limit on my TTM SIM seems to have disappeared from NSG now but limitations still remain in place though now slightly different.

More later 😶
I wish I could root my phone to see what mine says. Do you still have your old SIM cos I smell a rat since they kindly sent you an 80GB SIM card.
 
I took out a TTM free sim when it became available, and sadly as mentioned in this forum the speeds cap out about 55, and I'm less than 500m from an EE mast facing my way.

EE reaches 200+.

BT Mobile 150ish.

TTM removed many comments of mine from their Facebook posts in the early days as I proved them wrong about full access to the EE network.

When using the EE network but they have now moved over to Vodafone...

I don't beleive there is any speed limits on Virgin's new plans, but I've yet to be able to test this, and unlikely to do so.
Virgin Mobile when I've used it before had strange issues but I'd be interested to try again. Whilst nothing like Three, I found that their network backend had some quirks in how it was dealing with traffic. Siri for example would inexplicably stop working almost like connections to Apple services were being rate limited etc.

I think I'd happily give them another try and see how it goes.
 
A few of those that I manage with Vodafone are coming to an end shortly and I could well be looking for alternatives. Especially for the broadband SIMs. The cash back deals are great but it depends on whether they’ll be able to renew the contract at a similar price.
 
Been testing Tothemoon for a week now, no ambr, max dl speed about 92 Mbps. No b20 obviously.
Seems good so far, will update if anything worth mentioning happens.
