GU2 - Guildford

Hey guys, can someone look into why GU27TH area is so slow on 4G even when my phone shows full bars! 

i work in this area & I have to switch to 3G even to read a twit! 

Im very close to a  University so I'm guessing that's the problem. Too many others on the network. 

Everyone I work with here are  experiencing the same problem.

when I leave the area my 4G is very good.

There are a couple of legacy sites in that area due upgrade to 4G,. As a result the existing 4G server will be covering a substantially larger, busier, area than it could be. 

 

I can confirm the 4G experience is pretty poor in the mean time though.

4G in Guildford is unbearably slow and oddly sometimes switching off 4g and connecting to 3G provides a better service. 

Equivalent EE data speeds are lighting fast in comparison. 

Time to get onto this, Guildford is a heavily populated area that needs better Vodafone data speeds ASAP 

I've attached a screenshot montage from the main Guildford town centre serving site that speaks for itself:

4G: 0.23mbps

3G (2100MHz): 9.8mbps

3G (900): 2.2mbps.
