Mobile data is extremely slow and unreliable. Tried switching eSim on/off, reseting network settings, tried setting APN, restarting phone, airplane mode on/off. Nothing changes.

 

Seems to go up temporarily but immediately throttled again. During the start of the test it will go up to maybe 15-20 then immediately drop below 1. Strong connection at 3/4 bars, so that is not the issue.

 

The 5g speed is amazing but it rarely connected to 5g.

 

I have switched my old number over (yesterday transfer completed) , not sure if this affects anything but right now I'm looking to return and go with another network.

    I have the same issue, except that the speeds are amazing between 5 and 8 a.m., but then they drop to such absurdly low speeds that it's unusable. If you can, switch providers because it seems like they're intentionally limiting speeds when there's a higher load. I plan to switch to Vodafone in a few days.
