Hi Folks
Does anyone know what are the expected/max upload/download speeds are for the 2Degrees '4G wireless unlimited' service?
I've looked about on the 2Degrees website, but cant find any info :/
Thanks in advance

@sushiwaa Average would be between 40 to max 120Mbp/s (That is from my testing in Auckland CBD) all NZ carriers will be about the same for 5G as uplink is over 4G
But factors such as distance from serving cell and load will change this
As of today only 5G handles the download this will change in the future
Like the others have said, its pretty variable. However the Measuring Broadband New Zealand Report has some test results that you might find useful.
thanks for your reply
i'm getting around 30/15 mbps down/up, which seems to be a similar speed to what other providers (spark/one) are offering... so all good! :)
fyi: router is a tplink mx515v, with 75% signal strength (says aginet app)
sushiwaa:
hiya... speeds are the same, over wifi or eth
Can you get connected to Fibre?
absolutely no option for fibre, as just outside new plymouth city limits
twas previously on xDSL, with tragic 2.5 mbps download, so 30/15 is a thankful upgrade
also seems that neither spark,skinny or vodaone would provide 4G to our address, (according to their 'address check' tool)
Performance on mobile connections is pretty variable. You can try experimenting with exactly where the modem is located - up high, near a window is likely to be best, but this is no guarantee.
You can look up where each providers' cell sites are near you, and try and put the modem on that side of the house: https://gis.geek.nz/
