I recently upgraded my EE Plusnet migration sim to an unlimited essentials sim.
It has the soft speed limiter, unfortunately, but for the price and roaming it will do me.
My iPhone is running IOS 18.1.
Now I know EE are probably the worst for ‘fake 5G’ where the phone indicates NR but it’s actually on LTE but in field test mode, I never see an NR bearer. It’s always LTE. The phone indicates 5G. NPerf says 5G NSA.
I know I am in a 5G coverage area and my speedtests bounce off the soft limiter at around 140Mbps.
I am on an eSIM so sticking it in my Android phone is a bit of a faff.
Can any other iOS users on IOS 18 confirm are you seeing NR on EE in field test mode?
