Hello there.

The set up and go live time can take quite a while to complete. I've seen cases where it has taken over a year, so 7 months isn't stretching the norm. Sadly, there isn't any additional information or heads up that can be provided on what stage it's at, or when it might go live.

Pete.

I just been to Madeley Park Street 5G mast and testing it. The signal pick up 5G by around Andy's Fish Bar as the signal revert back to 4G+ by Madeley Cricket Club and bottom of tiny roundabout before Madeley Tesco. The 5G is too weak for further distance. Overall disappointment.

The test for 4G+ is very poor

The test for 5G NR is capped limit to 120Meg down but uncapped for upload. The same as Aqueduct 5G as it seem Three put capped on 120Meg as a throttling speed. How disappointed.

Seem both Aqueduct and Madeley 5G NR is capped and short distance. Really waste of time. Both 4G+ never go over 60Meg download.
