Data Speed on an eSIM

So I'm proudly showing my Pixel 9 Pro XL to a colleague who has just bought an OPPO X8.

 

Checking his data speed, he was hitting over 250Mbps on 5G, and there I am on my Pixel next to him, getting a measley 32 Mbps max, also showing on 5G.

 

He's on a physical SIM, I'm on an eSIM.

 

Any ideas why he's getting so much faster than me?

 

My data speeds vary from location to location obviously; the most I've had (at home right now) is 132 Mbps.

Not an observation that has come up here.

The only difference I know is that unless you have a plastic SIM 5G Stand alone does not work on Android with eSIMs you need an R15 plastic for that. Doubt that is the case here though

If your SIM slot is free call into an O2 store with photo ID and swap to plastic.

Less problems all round

This is not O2 and we are all customers here similar to yourself and cannot answer account type queries.

Same network or different?

You'll need to go in store with photo ID and get a replacement plastic sim to prove the theory.

Do you run any apps capable of identifying the eNB-ID and EARFCN (carrier) in use?
