Do you remember what you did when you first got your smartphone? You had access to 3G and the world was suddenly your oyster. You could send an email, update your Facebook status... Google the origin of phrases like “the world is your oyster”. And the best part? You could do it from anywhere!
But now we’re an impatient lot...
Not just content with being able to tweet about the guy on the train eating raw garlic, we want to be able to video him and upload it to YouTube in lightning speeds (or is that just me?). We want to be able to watch a slow loris being tickled and do so without interruption (just me again?).
And that’s why we’re here. To help you make the most of the technology you have, to allow you to do everything you need, whenever you want and to do it all really, really fast.
So how fast is 4G really? And what does all that extra speed actually mean?
4G is typically five times faster than 3G. Five times. But if you search for things that are five times faster than other things, you don’t really find anything tangible. So here are some videos that show the difference:
Cheetah vs Giraffe
So with these higher speeds come great opportunities. Like choosing an HD film from the EE Film Store and watching it on your way home. Like playing amazing live multiplayer games with your mates wherever they may be in the world. Like watching a whole playlist of slow loris videos with no buffering.
On 4GEE from EE, it’s all possible.
But that’s enough from us; we could talk the hind legs off a donkey with this stuff. What we really want to know is how fast you find it. And here’s how you can do it:
- Go to speedtest.net on your phone
- Download the app
- Run the test
- Share with the community
Let’s see how these speeds compare. Ready, steady, go….
