Help EE - Everything Everywhere has slowed my connection

[showmestuff-S2]

An upgrade from has happened on my S2 to this EE i think my S2 is now ready for 4g but its not launched till the 30/10/12 but it seems my internet connection has slowed right down
how can i go back to what it was, which was fine

is there any other way to get better connection speeds i mainly use it to tether my xbox another cost per month for pointless laggin games which boot me off for poor connection, really annoying

thanks

Hi showmestuff :ciao:

I'm not familiar with Everything Everywhere. Is your phone the SGH-T989 or the I9100?

showmestuff, I'll move this to the Galaxy S2 International (i9100) forum for you. They should be more familiar with Everything Everwhere and better able to help you.

The SGS2 i9100 is not 4G compatible as far as I know.
Mine is currently connect on HSDPA:9 although it did show up as HSPAP:15 yesterday (and again just) Although if data hasn't been sent for a few minutes it does drop back UMTS:3

I've just (as I type this) had a txt from T Mobile saying I am now on their EE network and it will show up as this now when I reboot the phone. Rebooted and all I can see different is the operator name has changed.

OK, just tried mine now I'm on the EE network, and everything seems fine. Have watched a movie trailer and listened to internet radio without an issue.

I'd suggest downloading an app to check your internet speeds.

Also, can you connect to the internet over wifi via router? Is this OK?

Thanks

No when i connect via wifi i get strong signal but sometimes no connection
or very slow and time outs

The only 'upgrades' were at the other end, so that all base stations now identify themselves as belonging to "EE". If you look in About phone/Status you'll still see Orange listed as your home network.

The GT-i9100 doesn't support LTE so will never be 4G-ready.

Never considered fixed-line broadband? Up-to-20Mbps d/l connections are now the norm, with 40, 60 and even 100Mbps now available in some areas (with the right supplier).
