Slow upload and download speed with Tp-link M7350

I recently purchased a Smarty sim card to work with a Tp-link M7350. I am connected ok. I have 3 and a bit to 4 bars on the 4G icon on my router. I have put "mob.asm.net" in APN in dial up settings for my router. I have selected 4g only. I am based in London, and using it inside a red brick house near windows. Network coverage is good.

However, the download and upload speed is 1 Mbps download, and 4 Mbps upload. Very slow!  I didn't purchase a "data only" sim, but a sim card that does, calls, text and data. Would this have any influence on performance? Any other ideas why my internet speed might be so slow?

    4G speeds on Three suck! Change network or get a 5G router.

      ok, thanks for that. I have read similar opinions. I will see if I get any other options. 

       

      Many thanks

    I was getting 40mb+ on a Three Sim Card - UNLIMITED 4G/5G Data, Voice and Texts. But it was costing £26 for data only in the to link 4 g router.  Changed to Smarty in the same router, same location, and 3 network and not even half the speed but it cost £20.  I fortunately will have to pay more and get the bandwidth.

      Jonatha_3561306 Perhaps customers of Three network get preferential treatment?
