4G Dongle not as fast as HSPA+

Anonymous — Mon, 30 Aug 2021 12:20:57 GMT

I have recently purchased a Huwaui Unlocked 4G dongle and put my mobile broadband SIM from my HSPA+ dongle in it, expecting to get a faster 4G speed, but it is slower, much slower, than expected.

The HSPA+ dongle delivers just over 4 Mbits but the 4G dongle (with the same SIM) is only 1mbit. Is HSPA+ faster than 4G? I thought 4G was supposed to be faster?

Any ideas anyone?

In theory it should be but if 4g is oversubscribed in the area you are in, 3g could well be faster.

I live near my o2 mast. Although I am in a old building of a house not a modern building. So certain rooms have better reception.
