Seems to perform pretty well I think ...

knockoff nige

Agreed. Quite fast indeed.

PaulandNic

Just could do with a bit more bandwidth ... 4GB PM ...

PaulandNic

Oh and this is from the Gold Coast to a Brissie server. Friend in Bris is getting 65mbps down and 45 up! ...

That's data allowance, not bandwidth.

I only have 4G on my phone and have 500mb. So using it very sparingly. But it's far better than my wifi at home.

PaulandNic

Yes, wrong terminology there.

Yeah well I've got 4gig to play with but can eat that easy as if not careful.

I get 13.5mbps at home so am happy with that, but just watching the speed test ap get smashed with 4G does look impressive.

Very happy with it on my iphone 5 - although my 400MB allowance with Telstra has gone already with 2 and a bit weeks to go until my top up. Was able to 'purchase' and additional 200MB data pack through my credit, so hoping this will last!!

Thinking of getting the iPhone 5 too. Tempted to join Telstra but are they still very expensive?

PaulandNic

I joined the iPhone brigade at iPhone4 and have raved about em since. I have nothing else Apple, just love my iPhone. The 5 IS an improvement over the S and light as. The 4 feels like a brick compared ...

Plans? ... http://www.telstra.com.au/mobile-phones/mobile-plans/

Yep very expensive compared, but you DEF get what you pay for. I'm on my phone for 2+ hours a day and NEED to get signal. I've tried Vodafone (terrible then, 2+ years ago), Optus, and Telstra. Never going back!

Will tether my laptop next time i'm in 4G and see how long it takes to DL a gig!

This guy reckons 4 or 5 seconds...

it will cost you a leg and an arm

I have a 5 too, speed varies heaps though, and LTE seems to drain the battery.

I like the 5 but battery life has been the biggest problem so far, hopefully IOS 6.01 or something fixes it.

nicolac34

It's odd, my battery life started off as AWFUL, I'd unplug it at home on 100% and by the time I'd got to work it would be down at 80% would barely get to lunchtime before it's coming down to 25% and certainly wouldn't last the whole day.

It's been a couple of weeks and it seems to have improved, it will now almost last a day, gets to around 8pm and it's at 10%.

I don't know whether this is because I'm not using LTE as much (have it on wifi at home and in the office) so maybe it was that which was draining the battery so much.

Still needs sorting out though.
