    KevinDo_2223601​ Have you firstly done a Network Status check to see if there is a problem?

    Next, a speed test (e.g. Speediest.net) will give you an idea of the real speed.

    Problem with mobile data is that you may end up sharing a signal bandwidth with loads of other people. This is why it is not a real substitute for a fibre connection.

      Yes did all the usual network status and speed checks and it recognised it as being slow. Thied Selecting 4g and then tried 5g and still slow. My other sim with EE was running 5 times as fast in the same area
