I had 1 free gb, max speed judge by Ookla was 250mbps. but when the moment came to sign the contract, I see that the maximum speed of 10 mbps is indicated there. So what speed would be? Thanks

4G/LTE or 5G?

I presume 5G because 4G/LTE theoretical max speed is about 100Mbps while on 5G it's about 2,000Mbps (note that these are theoretical maximum speeds and not necessarily available on 48 or other networks in practice).

(I presume that you're sure that you did the first speed test of 250Mbps on mobile data and not on WiFi?)

I find that 4G/LTE speeds vary wildly.

And your location and local demands on the 48/Three networks can impact the effective speeds.

Sometimes I can be lucky and get 10-20Mbps.

Most of the time it seems to be a lot lower.

Right now I'm barely getting 1Mbps!

Tried again from the front of the house and got 50Mbps down/35Mbps up.

As I say, I think it varies a lot based on location, local demand etc.

I don't use that much data - maybe a bit playing music in the car etc. or when I need connected apps out and about.

250Mbps on 4G/LTE doesn't sound right.

Most sources seem to suggest a maximum theoretical speed of 100Mbps?
