I'm in the UK on a VF network MVNO. Where I live I get strong LTE and NR-NSA however the 5G speeds are no faster than 4G and when I make a call it reverts to displaying 4G. A couple of km down the road on a different mast the 5G is a lot faster and calls stay on 5G. It's an up-to-date phone and software (Galaxy S23). Any ideas? Old VF equipment pretending it has NR? Thanks, Peter

Unless your device is using VoLTE then you aren't using 4G or 5G for calls! I've seen some very good speeds on 5G and none too shabby on 4G too, I've also seen absolutely appalling - it depends on where you are. Frankly though other than when I'm on holiday and using my mobile as a hotspot, or when testing, during normal use I'm rarely ever going to push my connection.
So, your connection when you test it, is slower that you would imagine, but what are you doing where that speed becomes a problem?
