nathan: Wipe out my data in 5s, how do I get on that speed 5G, 6G?
Zreh: Obviously, but considering that it is pretty much standard everywhere else in the world and the carriers have no trouble with it, it can't be a massive problem. Vodafone could offer some sort of limited (non-metered) function within their app so they could keep a cap on it. Honestly, I think once people get over it it will be barely used but you can't actually check how fast 4G. Vodafone could have a massive social media win on their hands with people sharing photos and stuff of their fast speeds, like they do in the states.

Well, if you're on a 500mb plan with about 250mb left, the 150Mbps on CAT 4 can wipe it up in no time.
nathan: What's the ROI?
any businesses needs to weigh up the upside of doing something like that vs. Status quo
Personally I would love to have unmetered speed test, but then I actually don't really care when it comes down to it. Probably Voda know this too, the amount of revenue generated from new customers switching because of it =
Yeah, when T-Mo did it there was a whole lot of fanfare about net neutrality too, it can be a prickly subject (un-metering certain apps/content) so I doubt Vodafone (of all the telcos over here) would do it.
chevrolux: Are you having a laugh or actually serious?...
Saying speedtest.net should be zero rated because 'it would be nice to run a few tests' is like saying YouTube should be zero rated becaue 'it would be nice to watch a few 1080p videos'.
There is ZERO reason to run a speedtest.net test on 4G. Doing it on 4G is purely for use to show your mates and say how good yours is compared to theirs. I seriously can't think of I single reason why I would need to run a speedtest on a 4G connection in a business or personal enviroment.
I think the most important thing is that our data caps especially at 19/29 are just a bit too low (compared to the speed) if they can be hammered by a speed test.
Zreh:
Don't you think comparing speeds is one of the main reasons that people will switch from one carrier to another?
