Anyone got it? We seem tantalisingly close to the EE 4G coverage, Hoddesdon, Welwyn GC, and Hatfield all have it we seemingly do not
Re: 4G In Hertford?
When I checked where we have our house, SG142ED, 4G isn't available but a bit up the road it is.
Here's there coverage checker
https://explore.ee.co.uk/coverage-checker
I'm confused a bit though, they don't seem to have there own cell towers and rely on, or piggy back onto, T-Mobile or Orange so would it not be easier and cheaper to go to the source rather than a 3rd party?

EE are Orange/T-Mobile it's the renamed company after they merged a couple of years ago. I note that 3 Mobile are rolling out 4G next year but according to their coverage checker I don't even have indoor coverageI'm confused a bit though, they don't seem to have there own cell towers and rely on, or piggy back onto, T-Mobile or Orange so would it not be easier and cheaper to go to the source rather than a 3rd party?

Re: 4G In Hertford?
So it might be OK when my 3 contract expires in August then.
Re: 4G In Hertford?
Thanks for clearing that up. The confusion was caused as Ofcom's site finder still lists them as under there original name and not EE. I guess Ofcom's site finder hasn't had time to update there records of cell tower owners.jackanapes wrote:EE are Orange/T-Mobile it's the renamed company after they merged a couple of years ago.

According to the EE website 4G works at my home address now ..... BUT ONLY if I stand outdoors.
The wonders of modern technology !!
Can't wait to try it out this evening

And how does it work? Is it really worth the extra pennies?Moose66 wrote:According to the EE website 4G works at my home address now ..... BUT ONLY if I stand outdoors.

Ha! Completely forgot to try it over the weekend.
Will have a go this evening if Mrs M doesn't mind me taking the furniture outdoors - mind you the rain probably reduces the reception !!

Re: 4G In Hertford?
I finally tested it out. No 4G outdoors in the street, or in the garden, or leaning out of an upstairs window!Footfruit wrote:And how does it work? Is it really worth the extra pennies?Moose66 wrote:According to the EE website 4G works at my home address now ..... BUT ONLY if I stand outdoors.

Seriously though, it is very useful when away from home and works a treat when I am in London, worth the cost in my opinion.
You don't need it at home, only when out and about.
