Re: International Roaming Data being throttle too much
Hi Syaoran and thanks for taking the time to reply. Just to put the speed difference in context, if I put my friend’s phone (which has a UK SIM connected to the same network) next to mine then they get 98 Mbps and I get 0.07 Mbps. My friend is getting a speed 1,400,000 times faster than me. This really can only be explained by T-Mobile throttling the connection. That’s fine but they should be throttling it to 0.25 Mbps, which is what they advertise and not 0.07 Mbps. The APN suggestion was interesting but I don’t thinkthis can be changed on an iPhone, which is what I’m using.33Views0likes0CommentsInternational Roaming Data being throttle too much
I’m on the Magenta Max 55+ plan. I specifically took it out because I travel a lot and was finding the normal roaming data speed of 128Kbps unusable. Magenta Max+ is supposed to give double this - 256Kbps but I never get this download speed. In the UK my phone connects to either T-Mobile or Vodafone UK depending on location. These speed tests were done with full signal strength bars and LTE showing: T-Mobile down 70 Kbps up 240 Kbps down 80 Kbps up 220 Kbps down 60 Kbps up 230 Kbps Vodafone UK down 110 Kbps up 230 Kbps down 120 Kbps up 250 Kbps and it’s not just the UK. In Ireland over Christmas I got the following speeds: down 80 Kbps up 240 Kbps down 80 Kbps up 230 Kbps I understand about the phone connecting to the networks at a high speed and ‘throttling’ being performed by T-Mobile depending on plan. But my connection seems to be throttled too much and I’m not getting the speed I’m paying for. Can anyone help please?1.7KViews0likes5Comments
