If anybody is in that area and could please do a 4G Spark network speed test for me that would be great.

My parents are considering getting Spark 4G Wireless broadband. I’m curious to see some speed test so I can advise them if it’s any good.

TA.

4G performance on a phone is may not be indicative of wireless broadband performance.

Thanks for your input. Appreciate it. I was thinking if it was not on the front page it would go unnoticed.

I can tell you it’s good coverage. There are two cell sites in that area. One on the hospital and the other by the old Tomoana freezing works.

I get about 70/120 down and 60/80 up all around Hastings

Is a 4G modem in a phone not as powerful as a modem designed specially for a wireless broadband modem?

My parents live 200 metres from the Hospital on Karaitiana street.

They are in the best spot for Spark. 2D and Vodafone also have good speeds in Frimley so you have a pick of all three providers.

The cells sites for all three are very close to each other. 2D is another one you should consider
