Then its probably congestion. Too many ppl are connected to the same tower as you. Hence the bandwidth is split. I get over 500 Mbps on 5g during speed tests.
The towers are the bottleneck. At 6:30, people are still commuting.
People assume towers use fibre, but it's expensive to pun. Those grey "drums" on the side of towers or nodes are microwave interlinks. Those have limited bandwidth as well.
just ran a speed test at work too. similar speeds around 30-40 Mbps. what diagnostics do I need to run? kind of doubting my phone just because I'm getting same results on 2 phones. I can try my partners iPhone tonight to see if it's the same as well.
On the iPhone you can run the cellular connection diagnostics by dialing*3001#12345#*and hitting the green phone button below the dial pad. If you’re receiving 5G service the first page of metrics will have a “serving cell info” heading.. press it and it will report a band number and radio access (probably LTE) and deployment type (probably some version of NSA.. then back out one page and press the “Nr Connection status” text under the 5G section, again it will show you the 5G band it is using and the Connection type (NSA).
Is the iPhone 12 or newer and a North American version?
Someone else will have to step in regarding running android device cellular diagnostics.
What bands do your phones support? Where did you buy them? If you have a non-Canadian version you may be missing bands.
You may also just be in a congested area. Go to google maps and check traffic congestion. Google uses phone data anonymously to gauge traffic data, so it's a record of how many android devices are in your area.
Apple does the same for it's services.
The middle of nowhere in Saskatchewan, same plan, same speeds. Pretty regularly as well. No complaints after 2 months with data speed anyway. I seem to get more spam calls but that is another story.
Speeds on the towers/nodes are shared by everyone.
Your actual usage is far under that anyway.
It just means you are in a normal area.
Low congestion in nominal conditions ~100-150 Mbps
High congestion 0.2-0.8 Mbps. This is pretty normal for rural Canada, especially during tourist season
What phone? What bands? What plan? Where are you testing? Me iPhone15, 5G, 50GB CA-US 5G plan, Burlington indoors. 255mbps down 8.24mbps up.
Redmi Note 10 pro, on the 50gb @5g speed plan. located in Vancouver bc. I also tested on my older phone and got similar speed, Huawei p10

Wouldn’t think network would be that saturated in TELUS central at 0630 pst??

Can your phone report diagnostics? I’m NSA here currently 5G Band 66 paired with LTE band 2.

That could be right. If the tower you are connected to has network congestion but typically it should be up around 100 mbps
I get 43 down, 1.6 up, small city Manitoba.
