Dear all,
I’m spending a few days in Scotland and bought an unlimited 14 day eSIM to be online. The performance is usually really really poor, which could be due to network coverage issues but I think it isn’t as I’ve made a few observations. Last night for example, I’ve been at a train station and had bandwith spikes that lasted a few minutes, where the download speed reached 12MB/s (yes, megabyte) and for other periods of time, it was stuck at 500 kB/s. But the most amazing thing is that my German providers (actually two, Fraenk and sim24 ) send me to EE for roaming and with both I have much better speeds while being connected to the same cell id. Does that mean that there is some depriorization involved?
Best regards, R
