How poor is iD network speeds.


I've changed from EE 

And didn't expect such low internet speeds over 5g 

 

I'm lucky to get over 10mbps at times

My average is 6-9,  

I've even tried my SIM in my Motorola edge 40

And my other Sony s23 and both get similar speeds.

Do you get the same results in other locations, and also at different times of the day @jackiejeff

I get download speeds between 12Mbps and 330Mbps depending on when and where I run speedtests.

I tried it at work and was getting 7Mbps on 5G tried turn it

5G off and was getting a 16Mbps, 

Then tried it on way home near my local shops and managed to hit  17Mbps on 5G 

 

At home I get 5G full bars and 14Mbps, 

Not sure what's going on.

How many people were using the mobile network cells at the time you ran your speed tests?

Are you running tests in a heavily populated urban area?

Is your device supported for 5G use on the iD network?

I live in Slough and travel to Liverpool street everyday, until now did not have any issues on my journeys except 2 days when the entire 3 network was down for which there has been no communication and no compensation

Hi @jackiejeff 

 

Sorry to hear you aren’t satisfied with your speeds with us compared to them with EE, different networks will have a different signal, we rely on Three UK for our signal and EE have their own network.

 

Please could you let us know the postcode(s) where you’re having issues with 5G?

 

Have you tried 4G in these areas?

Unfortunately, the iD network partner (Three UK) has a networking fault affecting users of their mobile network, @Claire Nick.

Hi @Claire Nick,

We hope that the issue is now resolved.

If you are still experiencing issues, please let us know.

In most cases a restart or network reset should get your services back up and running.

Hi @john2635aca,

Welcome to the Community!

Have you checked your postcode to see if there is any ongoing work in your area?

Has your coverage been the same since joining iD Mobile?

Hi @Cazzel 

 

Switching to another network manually will be in your device’s settings, we’d recommend checking the manufacturers handbook on how this may be done.
