Is this 5G network with a 4G package? Or you have a real 5G package?

 

Seems kinda slow for being with a 5G package

How jaded do you have to be to call 500Mbps slow?

Basically, a controlled, laboratory-type test using all the best equipment...and the sending radios & receiving device probably within meters of each other.

The three companies have reached a new maximum throughput speed record in the live network with the Ericsson Radio System complete base station for millimeter wave (mmWave), the Streetmacro 6701. The throughput was achieved via NR carrier aggregation (CA) of eight 100MHz n257 mmWave carriers combined with LTE CA of two 20MHz Band 7 carriers – in total 840MHz spectrum was used for a single user, which is a major milestone for wireless communication. The device used was a smartphone form factor mobile test device, powered by the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ X60 5G Modem-RF System with 3^rd generation Qualcomm® QTM535 mmWave antenna modules.
