Hi,
Unsure if anyone can really help but i have recently taken a new contract on 4g services with the Nokia 1020 and i must admit i thought there would be a decent speed boost over 3g but in all honesty after testing the service i must admit i am disappointed.
In all speedtests i never appear to go above 2.2Mb down and 900Mb up with a 65m ping time.
However on one of my older contracts with Three on it's 3g service i appear to be seeing 14/20Mb down and 2.5Mb up with a 40ms ping in the same areas.
I am not currently finding o2 4g services anything to get excited over 😕
Solved! Go to Solution.

Something is defiantly wrong there I've not had speeds under 20mbps down and 10mbps up usually a lot faster than that

That's not good, my experience of 4G (on EE) is brilliant.
You should be getting much faster speeds.
As suggested check the network status page, but also check that you are connected to 4G? It may sound daft but maybe forced onto 3G only for some reason.
I can't remember off the top of my head how you check this on WIndows Mobile, but sure you can find it.

I would Imagine it would show up in on the display as 4g or lte

That certainly hasn't been my experience with 4G as witnessed by the speedtest in my sig, though it does have a tendency to fall back to 3G or slower at busy times.

Falls back to 3G or slower at busy times, as in the network switches to 3G/E etc?? Or the speeds resemble those ow 3G, Edge etc?
Must admit I am concerned about what I am hearing about O2's 4G now it's rolling out more....!

Actual fall back to H+, 3G, Edge, GPRS or sometimes just GSM (no data) as indicated in the phone's status bar, and that's within London.
