Same. EE 4G in CENTRAL LONDON with a SIM-card Home Router and the speeds are horrific — mostly 5Mb, and maybe 15Mb for an hour or two each day.

Used to be consistently 50Mb+ back in the days.

Is 15Mbit really such a horrible speed? For a mobile device I think that’s still great.

They're talking about a home router with a sim card. I'd say 15Mb is pretty poor for home use.

It may be better than some wired home broadband in parts of London though (I used to get 3Mb/0.2Mb in zone 3).
