Poor 5G connectivity/speeds

Hi,

Joined 48 today from Eir. Ported over, apn installed. 5g appearing in corner with 1 bar out of 5 bars. Ran a test max I got was 13.5 mbps. Using a s23 ultra. With eir I would get 400mbps and previously I was with Vodafone I got 800 mbps. Any reason for it to be this poor? Checked the coverage map and I've full coverage in my area, and I thought 48 was using threes network?

Yes - 48 uses Three's network but that doesn't necessarily mean that the experience on both networks will be identical.

Just in case, make sure that your APN settings are configured correctly.

Text "APN" to 50048 and follow the instructions here:

What sort of 4G speeds are you getting?

Do you know anybody else locally on 48 who you can ask about their experience?

If you need to contact 48 support about this then see the links in my signature below.

47 mbps when I've switched over to 4g. I'll get in touch with them tomorrow. Sound
