APN Settings

[Shane]

Hey guys,

Just wondering is there any APN that is better than live.vodafone.com that doesn't have a slowdown or proxy on it, to get lower pings or possibly higher speeds?

If it's a prepay SIM, the only other APNs I know that work all result in "out of bundle" data charges or no internet access when out of credit.

With the new Sky Mobile network that operates on Vodafone (€15 / month "for life" with 12 month contract), this has an incredibly low ping based on a speed test someone posted on boards, at least on 5G. It makes me wonder if they had a 5G Standalone connection (not 5G NSA which depends a on 4G carrier) as I don't recall ever seeing a 5G speed test with a 4ms ping before!

Do you know of any apns on billpay that might decrease ping times as I know the live.vodafone.com is very inefficient

I wonder does this mean that Vodafone is possibly rolling out a 5g SA connection?Nevertheless I know that normal speeds on Vodafone are gonna take a big hit as I suppose Sky are going to aggressively market this plan to get all their tv and broadband customers onto it!
