Smarty 5G traffic slows down after a while - looks like throttling... something else?
I’m writing about persistent problems with my data speeds on a Smarty Unlimited data plan. I use my 5G mobile to tether at home. This works very well and download speeds can be as high as 500 MBp...
Hey
JohnComi_342726 Mobile data will never compete with fibre broadband if you want a stable and high speed connection. Smarty tell you at the outset that it will not be a replacement.
Who knows, perhaps there are a number of high usage customers like you all connecting to the same mast - surely that would slow things down due to congestion.
Perhaps not, but to claim they are not throttling when they clearly are is misleading. Advertising speeds in excess of 150mb then within a few minutes after a reboot down to 12mb is more than taking the proverbial. I have 3 sims in different devices and they all do it.
