I would say that plans with small data usage (~1-2 GB per cycle) are not really that sensitive to speed performance. Nobody with a light data plan will try to download the internet on their phone and so they will never do anything that really challenge the slow data speed.
Yes, nowadays data is mainly used on the phone for picture msg or some apps like timmies which works best on data. Any big files are on the computers.
Yes of course many use their laptops for serious downloads -- except of course young phone addicted persons such as my daughters and their friends that even download full length movies on their iPhones. They however, through experience know better now that in order to save their data the must download over WIFI.
I for one also do most things on my phone using mostly WIFI and data when I must.
Recently I tested @darlicious claim that the $10 plan's data is faster using 4G as opposed to the more expensive plans that are throttled down to 3G ( I don't understand why PM does this) .
*****While at Canadian tire I used my newer phone with a more expensive PM data plan to look up an item and it took forever to do so. Then I did the same search on my older iPhone 7 with the $10 plan and within seconds it connected and did the job. So I conclude that @darlicious advise was correct in that old PM $10 plans data is faster by using full 4G speeds.
