We moved out to the beach a couple of months ago. My wife and daughter on 2D often have no coverage whatsoever (and yes weve been in touch with them about it) and my Voda mobile is ok-ish but there are dead spots around the house.

Ive blagged an XT phone for the weekend and short of driving around the local area (where the phones are mostly used) and making lots of calls can I make a judgement call on running regular speedtest.net tests to know whether XT coverage is better or worse ?

Just using the closest server with fresh installs of the speedtest android app, XT is consistently giving me 2-3000kbps whereas V (if it finishes the test at all) struggles to get over 500kbps. I havent bothered to try 2D yet.

Although as I type this the XT phone has no network connection !
