Why is my mobile hotspot so much slower than my regular data connection?
Hello all. I'd like to know why my mobile hotspot speeds are so much slower than my regular data connection. I have the old $70 unlimited plan from several years ago, when T-Mobile first started ...
There were a bunch of Simple Choice plans that you could choose from and not all of them included that. I'd recommend comunicándote con nosotros over the phone or Facebook/Twitter so we can look at your account and let you know exactly what's going on.
I finally found a T-Mobile tower near me that is already 5G Ultra capacity (and 100MHz). My MiFi 2000 zoomed up to 313 Mbps download speed at 7 pm (likely the busy hour) and the ping was at an astounding 16ms. So, it is safe to say the MiFi 2000 works as advertised and is not being throttled. Next, when I receive my 5G iPhone 13, I'll run the same test at the same location along with my MiFi 2000 to see if there is any difference. I doubt I'll see any difference.
The way I tested the MiFi 2000 is I connect my smartphone to the MiFi 2000’s WiFi (turn on airplane mode to turn off cellular) and run the Speedtest.net application on the smartphone (download and use the app - this way you can click on results and you get a wealth of information (lat and Longitude coordinates, map, etc.).
