Hi I've ordered a ID mobile SIM to today via mobiles.co.uk looking at the documentation they sent one of them got information on the id mobile plan.

This part got my attention:

Speed of the internet service and remedies

Our estimated maximum 4G download and upload speed:

Download: Up to 70 Mbps | Upload: Up to 22 Mbps

Our estimated maximum 5G download and upload speed:

Download: Up to 597 Mbps | Upload: Up to 50 Mbps

Just wondering is that just a guide of 4G/5G  speeds or is ID mobile speed limited to them speed eg 70Mbps on 4G since Three in my area exceeds both of them numbers on 4/5G.

 If it just for guide I take ID mobile got no speed limits and it's as fast as the network in the area can do.

Hey @Razza,

I have seen users report 5G speeds higher in the past so I think this most likely will be an average maximum.

Best way is to test it when you get the SIM and see how it is.

If you ordered via Mobiles.co.uk you will get 14-days to return if unhappy so you can get in touch with them to do this if you change your mind.

My speed is variable.  Live in Acton area of West London.  I don’t have WIFI so I’m using my ID mobile as a hotspot to stream live TV.  I get quite a bit of lag whereby the stream is just hanging…...

Hi @TungLondon,

Welcome to the Community!

Speeds can vary depending on location and if there is any congestion on the mast.

However you should always get the fastest available speed.
