Hi folks,
In recent months, I've noticed that my EE speeds are being capped. I suspected this was the case because I've never gotten a speed test to go over 200Mbps for months. It's hardly unusable, but still somewhat annoying.
Today, I activated a Lyca SIM card on my phone which also uses EE as I'm sure most of you know. It is clear from the results that my EE SIM card is being capped.
The below tests were carried out using eSIM on a Galaxy S23 Ultra from the exact same location:
EE - 140Mbps / 60.2 Mbps
Lyca - 629 Mbps / 60 Mbps
EE - 199 Mbps / 60.2 Mbps
Lyca - 672 Mbps / 52.8 Mbps
I thought Lyca was supposed to be inferior, but speeds are considerably faster when compared to my unlimited, uncapped EE SIM which certainly isn't cheap. I've ran speed tests using Fast.com as well incase it was just an issue with Speedtest.net being capped but it's a similar story there.
Apologies if this has been brought up before. Appreciate any help. Thanks!
