Hi guys, just switched to the 5G from 3G, using a Pixel 7, only gets speed up to 30. I am in Markham Ontario. Does it take a couple of days to get up to speed, like at least 100? Thanks.

I've done some plan changes and there was no delay in the new speed being implemented. It was instant.

It's also location/signal dependent. 30Mbps is decent if the signal isn't great or there's high network congestion at the time you tried. And remember that it's "up to" 250Mbps on 5G plans, not guaranteed all the time.
^^^This^^^. I would think that it is harder to speed test up to a higher speed cap and the network becomes more limiting than the speed cap. Unless there is a need to consistently have data speeds above 100 mbits/s, 4G speed plans = 5G speed plans in terms of performance.

@Dunkman- This was claimed as false by computergeek541 ??

It can take up to 48 hours for the switch in data speeds.

HI @99guy shouldn't be 30
Try to Reset all networks
and disable data saver or battery saver on your phone
make sure your Network mode is set to Automatic. But to test the full 5G speed, you can also change to 5G on the network mode
