Three Speed Tests

Great Junction street is quite a way out of the centre though. There just seems to be a big gap of 5g between new town and old town.

Did you get a chance to Speedtest on Princes street, George street or on the royal mile? Or Stockbridge?

I am constantly having to hotspot my friend on 3 when we are out in town as there is often signal, but no data throughout. And just 4G.

Also, I bet that 5g drops off very quickly elsewhere in the st James centre as you move away from their store.
Hi edinburgh_1992,

Yes true, it's just about at the docks, Three is really bad n the city centre, and yes it does drop off quickly after leaving the shopping centre for sure.

Don't think I've done a Royal Mile test, just up at the castle and Princes Street, in the centre.

Oh, and one down at Leith Telephone Exchange too. :rolleyes: 😊

I'll give The Royal Mile and your other suggestions a whirl next visit if I remember.😁

Thanks for the links, to be honest I was expecting worse from Princes street! Although i bet when the Christmas markets start, that speed will drop close to 0. I wonder how many years will pass until we see some more Three 5G around the centre….

I’m still waiting for them to switch on 5g from orchard brae house mast too, as their home broadband deals are much cheaper than what I’m paying with EE at the moment. But it’s still 4G only with B1+B3 😟

We're a wee bit better on the old soap dispenser though. (y)
 
Have had a 5G phone again for these last couple weeks, Three’s 5G really seems to have taken a pummelling these past couple years. I recall testing them back in 22/23, you’d be pretty disappointed if you got sub-400mbps even away from the tower.

I’ve been struggling to get anything over 100mbps away from their monopoles. Central London in particular has gotten so bad in places that it’s difficult to open pages/use maps even with full signal (Speedtest from outside Charing Cross below on a Saturday). This is over 4G and 5G, general sluggishness across different phones and different days.
