Finn Mobile - slow with xiaomi note

[CrossBones]

I used to use Finn mobile with a different phone and got around 50mbs+

 

Now i have Xiaomi note 10 5g and i never get over 20mbs. Its not worth me getting the higher packages on finn because the basic service limits to 20mbs after the "high speed" allowance is used up, and i never get over that speed anyway.

 

I was thinking perhaps my Xiaomi note doesnt use their 5g frequency.

 

My old phone was a oneplus 9 and i got very high speeds.

 

Any ideas?

Is the system actually 5g anyway? Im not sure. But I know for a fact i got 50mls with my oneplus 9 phone

 

Any ideas?

What does the network connection symbol show? - should indicate if you are connected to 4G or 5G.

It is but speed varies a lot.  I am on True 5G, Redmi Note 13, and right now am getting 17.4Mbps.  Most times it is much faster than that, usually 60-100.

 

edit - Just tested again, 68.5!

4g. HOwever my other phone also shows 4g but speed is over 50mb. 4g can go in excess of 50mb
