After living in Barcelona, I've returned to live in Waterford for a few months and so am relying on my 48 sim much more than previously (I have a dual-sim phone) and the internet is shocking. I was happy to hear that 48 had finally implemented 4g a few years ago and thought it was great to see 4g+ on my notification bar.
I was confused why it seemed so slow for 4g+ and did a speed test, only to find:
4g is meant to be about 150Mbps download, while 4g+ should be max 300Mbps. Of course, these are theoretical speeds, and so the real world speed would be lower, but it is ridiculous that 4g+ theoretical speed of 300Mbps translates into just 1.02Mbps (or just 0.34% of theoretical). My previous sims have had 4g at about 20/30Mbps.
How do more people not complain about this? My phone internet wasn't this bad even when I previously had 3g about 10 years ago.
