I am experiencing super slow 5G mobile speed. when I compare 4G vs 5G, I am getting 160Mbps  download speed on iPhone 6, 4G Boost. However, less than 2Mbps download speed on iPhone 14 Pro Max 5G TPG. What is going on here?

 

Testing location: Latitude 11.8674009. Longtitude 79.8060529

Please find picture attached.

My previous message was talking about mobile speed and not 5G home broadband speed. I have also attached a picture putting two mobiles phones together for comparison. Left is from Boost 4G speed test, and the right is TPG 5G speed test. 
Guess what, TPG support come back to me with mobile broadband troubleshooting guide as below,
5G Home Broadband - Troubleshooting Speed issues
It is totally irrelevant!
Guys, you can tell how good is the service when come to supporting. 
I can't say anything more than this.

Hi Shane,

 

  I have re-seated the SIM card and reboot my iPhone. I turned off bluetooth and wifi on both phones and run the speed test from google again. Same issue happens. Boost 4G 49 Mbps and TPG 5G 1.5 Mbps. Attached picture to show the detail.

  You can call me to discuss but please let me know your number in advance or send me a text before calling me.

  Looking forward to talking to you.

 

Cheers,
