Regular 5G is only up to 200Mbps. If you have 5G+ it could be a lot more. However a traditional speed test over cellular may give results that vary. Your provider could throttle your speed but allow you to burst up to the max reported. Also depending on where you are it could change as you are on more congested towers, etc. You may also contact your carrier and see if they have an official site or test app. They may have one that is hosted by them and not throttled. Are you on your mobile or have 5G home internet?
@@Evanation81 I have T0mobile 5g for the home. We live in the country and about 1.8 miles to tower. I think it could be alot of trees. Waiting on my j pole and extensions to my quad mini to see if I can get better line of sight. Lol t-mobile is probably pissed I call so much. They have rep[laced my router like 6 times in past 7 years. I do Virt and network for living. Just not all that good with the 5g stuiff. We have AT&T, but 10 down for 70 bucks, yeah not doing that haha. Thanks for the response tho.
If it is using a fixed wireless connection they should also be able to use a program that shows them line of site calculation. If you don’t have any other choices I would suggest Starlink. I have a few friends that have it living out in the sticks and they love it.
@@Evanation81 I dont have star link money haha. I work For DELL haha. I am actually trying to get my internet better to get my lab going. I need to learn more software as I am hardware engineer. Also when I called Star link, they said they dont service my area, lol no joke.
That is a first but guess there are still dead areas. Get that ProxMox going. They are taking a lot of market share from Broadcom recently with the price hikes.
So, question. What if I am on 5g and it shows 573 (Mbps)-but when doing a speed test I only have 120 mbs down?
