Thanks Stan, very interesting as much higher than mine. I was testing to Auckland though? To be fair numbers are numbers, really only worried about how long a page takes to load, and full of time outs last night, we shall see how tonight goes.

SteveON:  For starters dial up is analog and 3g/broadband is digital and actually connects a lot faster.
 


There's no such thing as a digital radio signal. Edit: on the physical layer that is.

Sorry for delay in replying and updating topic, and sorry not popped in shop yet Stan, had an injury at work on Wednesday and been laid up since!

Anyway as i been at home for couple days i still having huge issues on 2 degrees, all different, all intermittent. And this is in the city centre where i live (POB knows exact address of course).

I either have poor speed and nothing will load up or times out, OR i get shifted to Edge network (not 3g) and everything is slow or errors OR i get told i am outside 2deg MBB zone and will have use Vodafone OR nothing works at all.  :(

Hopefully these screen shots will give you an idea of myriad of problems, again these are ALL smack bang in centre of city and 2degress blue zone.

Think i left with no choice but to ask POB to contact me please and see what we can do about this ASAP, $80 wasted so far and will have to look at changing back to XT unless you can sort something i hope.

EDIT: even as i write this post i have had the "you are outside MBB zone error come up 3 times on iPhone screen and then go again?!

Just thought id update, rude not too!

So i eventually had time to visit Stan at the local store (thanks) and swapped to a new Sim card. That was couple of weeks ago, mixed results to be fair, an improvement for sure but still few errors. I starting to put it down to new MBB zone to Hamilton and hopefully errors and signal will improve.

- Speed at home seems better than it was, although still only ever half my old XT speeds
- MBB zone errors much less now, although still getting 1-2 a day saying "your outside 2deg MBB zone" in the CBD (was 10-12 a day)
- Signal still very rarely more than 2-3 bars, and often only 1-2 at home.

Overall i giving 2deg a little longer trial to see if things improve, still seems some room for better speeds and signals in the Tron
