When I tested out T-Mobile earlier this year, the Speedtests did not count against your "unlimited cap".


With the current changes to the plan, does T-mobile still ignore data use on all of these Speedtests?

You should use the RootMetrics coverage map app if you're on EE, tests on that are zero-rated so won't count towards your data allowance (this only applies to EE UK).

Pretty fast!! Shame I'll be moving to Vodafone soon as EE's indoor coverage is pretty bad in my area :( and Vodafone are running my city, and the entire of the east half of the UK on just 10MHz of 800 lol so I won't be getting speeds that fast any time soon

It won't be anything like EE speeds but it might be better than you think .. o2 use just a small amount of bandwidth on 800 too and I often get 50 meg down and 20 meg up .. do we really need more than that on a mobile phone ? ;)

I've tested them a bit already, O2 and Vodafone actually share a lot of their 4G network. I can usually get at least 10Mbps on Voda which is good enough for HD YouTube, and ultimately I'd rather have 10Mbps that works most places than 100+Mbps outdoors nothing indoors - which is what EE is like in a lot of places near me, I must just be unlucky lol

Agree .. that's why I moved to o2 last year .. much better 4G signal coverage round my way

This was in Buffalo, NY. Usually Buffalo is pretty congested but I happened to come across a pretty lightly loaded site. First time I've broken 100mbps!

o2 & Vodafone have been working together (Cornerstone Project?) to roll out 4G in more places.

I ditched Vodafone last year for o2 and have to say o2 have a much stronger signal/4G data speeds than Vodafone where I live.

Think the fastest speed I got (downloads) was around 90 Megs but I wasn't far from the mast and haven't experienced it since.
