Just got back from the match and it’s taken 25 mins to get 4G. Wifi is fucked.

Has 4G been alright for everyone else?

Our devices say 4G, but didn’t download anything for a while.

We were wondering if it might have been a huge cyber attack of some sort.

Probably just wind.

Our 4g is fine on EE for now.

It’s a DNS issue. Basically the system that links www.websitename.com to the actual website.

If you got into your devices setup and change the DNS to manual and choose 8.8.8.8 it will fix you right up. 8.8.8.8 is google own DNS server so you use that instead of Sky’s.
