n41 band showing inconsistent speeds
I have been having this problem for a little while now and I can't figure out what is causing it. Whenever I am connected to the n41 band and I run speed tests on Ookla and I am connected to a t mobile server, it almost always gives me readings of over 100mbps download and over 5mbps upload. The thing is if I test on any other speed test website, it shows me readings anywhere from 10-30 mbps download and 1-3mbps upload even with my Xbox one. Not to mention that I also have a high packet loss a lot of the time and I don't get why. Does anyone know what could be causing this?🤔
Ok from what I found online with the numbers.
RSRQ: - 10, -9, -8...so on is Excellent so as the numbers go down the better
RSRP: - 89, -88, -87...so on is Excellent so as the numbers go down the better
SINR: 11, 12, 13 and up is Excellent so as the numbers go UP the better
Band N41: Maximum Speed Band
So you can go from here and see the numbers and compare to yours where the bottleneck is.
If you have to use Ookla, use the App vs the Browser connection and Ethernet connection to your gateway.
I have lots of inconsistencies where download becomes unusable with certain websites and goes down to .7 mbps with the average slow to 3-5 mbps. The upload on the other hand is usually very good. Seems that traffic to the tower I use may be very hight or have peak hours. However, It is majorly screwed up of TMobile to at least give a decent minimum since they are more than happy to charge a premium. Perhap TMobile can rethink their strategy and optimize to make all connections have some sort of bottom floor speed rather than some remain high and others are more than screwed over. If this can't be done, they should stop getting more 5g Internest subscribers in my area.
Oops i meant - 80, -79, -78 is excellent and so on

This is it. By the way I know they aren't great because I normally get 2 bars, sometimes 3. But it often gives me a reading of over 100 mbps on ookla
Provide the Advanced Cellular Matrix. ON mine under 5G which is what I'm connected and service, its all Excellent Status.
Speedtest.net isn't the best way to judge your devices performance on your TMHI. Most service providers have special conditions set on the back end to make sure their services look the best they can, which is not reflective of a real world experience.
This isn't all on the servuce provider though. Connecting to slower servers or further sway can introduce latency and reduce speeds. There are so many variables with internet traffic, including how busy a particular website is at the time. The service provider provides the service. Your experience on the internet will always vary.

Do you have the “G4AR” Gateway?
Yes I do
