Slow data speed

IrinaO — Fri, 08 Jul 2022 17:35:32 GMT

I am getting very slow data speeds. fast.com shows ~1Mbps, and speedtest.net slightly below that.

I know that "3G speeds" should be 10 times faster.

With the *censored* Rogers outage, I was planning to use tethering for work, but it is impossible with these speeds!

What gives?

Seems like other carriers may be overloaded due to how many people are doing the same as you.

Manually select 3g instead of 4g or LTE....see if that might help and let us know.

With the prices that the carriers are gouging Canadians(*) one would assume they have enough money to invest in infrastructure.

(*) Sources, just to give an idea:

That's true, many of my friends with Bell/Koodo/PM also notice the slowness today

HI @IrinaO because of Rogers national outage, today is really not a great day to test the speed

Slow data seems to be the norm with Public nowadays...☹️
