Curious about low speed if I switched.

only if you live where there's decent coverage and speeds - not all providers have good coverage nor decent speeds. In some localities theres is no coverage at all (my mate can only use his mobile phone when he stands in his greenhouse) and I couldn't get any sort of signal where I was in Norfolk on Monday.

So if you are contemplating 4G it's worthwhile getting a cheap paygo sims from a couple of the network operators and trying them out in your phone to see if it's viable where you live before jumping straight in with a contract

Be sure to check the speeds at peak times as well. Networks can get very congested and speeds can drop right off and certain times of the day (like when the kids get home from school and in the evenings when people get home from work and stsrt game playing and streaming) My 4G speeds with Three vary from around 4mbit/s to 20mbit/s. and the best I can get with EE is around 3mbit/s
