Re: Why is my mobile hotspot so much slower than my regular data connection?
This is not usage related.. I have three Mifi 2000 devices, eachwith 100GByte plans (I was lucky to get the 100GB grandfathered limits). The 300 Mbps BW throttling that I see started out of the box,i.e., at zero usage.I have never reached anywherenear the 100GB usage limit in one month on any one of my three devices. It is not related to my plan limit. The BW speedtest has never gone over 300 Mbps since day one. My iPhone 13, on the other hand, has performed well over 600 Mbps out of the box, and it shows the new 5G uc in the upper right hand corner (5G ultra capacity). T-Mobile does not seem to want to explain why this is happening.

Re: Why is my mobile hotspot so much slower than my regular data connection?
Well, I just visited aT-Mobile store that sits almost directly below a 5G uc equipped tower. They ran a speedtest on thestore's iPhone 13 demo phone and it clocked inat 509 Mbps Download speed. I have tested my own iPhone 13 at the same 5G uc equippedtower and got 610 Mbps. Then I asked them to demo the store'sMiFi 2000 Inseego hotspot and run the samespeedtest - but they declined saying they don't have a demo version of the MiFi 2000. So I pulled out my own MiFi 2000 that I had just purchased from them and ran the same speedtest, but I only got 309 Mbps Download speed. I asked them why the difference, but I received no response. This provesto me that T-Mobile's MiFi 2000 hotspots do not perform at mid band 5G speeds (mid-band 2.5GHz ultra capacity) as advertised, whereas the iPhone 13's do, and are capable of performing at twice the BW speed, i.e., the MiFi 2000, and perhaps all non-phone devices, are being throttled to 300 Mbpsby T-Mobile (5G routers, hotspots, etc.). Go to a T-Mobile store and do the same comparison test to see for yourself. Below is the MiFi 2000 speedtest result I got while in the T-Mobile store.

Re: Why is my mobile hotspot so much slower than my regular data connection?
I finally found a T-Mobile tower near me that is already 5G Ultra capacity (and100MHz). 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 5GiPhone 13, I'll run the same test at the same location along with myMiFi 2000 to see if there is any difference. I doubt I'll see any difference. The way I tested the MiFi 2000 is I connectmy smartphone to the MiFi 2000'sWiFi (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.).

Re: Why is my mobile hotspot so much slower than my regular data connection?
How is the moderator concluding that this huge issue is SOLVED????? The ONLY solution is to REMOVE THROTTLING from non-phone devices. Until that is done this huge issue remains UNSOLVED and needs to be resolved immediately. Why would anyone buy a useless piece of equipment that doesn't work as advertised unless we were duped and not told that it would secretly be throttled after we bought it??
