Little experiment on my 2 Sims I have on this S22 Ultra phone tonight. Skinny mobile using Spark network dl speed of 5G was quite impressive at 30 mb/SEC where as the 2 degrees on 4G was using 4.5 obviously 5 g is now in the Tron. I thought it was only on vf network ? Location is Hamilton

I am surprised that the OP considers 30mbits 'quite impressive' for 5G. I'd consider that on the low end for 4G especially given your device S22 has good support for LTE Carrier Aggregation on Spark.

 

Spark has made quite good progress in their 5G rollout.

i suspect the OP is getting their units mixed up

 

internet speed is measured in Mbps, Megabits per second

I get on the 600 Mbps on 2degrees in Wellington CBD and close to that on Vodafone so 30 Mbps is really a 4G speed, and on the low side.

30Mbps is more like 3G speed and on 2degrees 5G seen easy 600 - 800Mbps Auckland city

Yeah doing speedtests with data clock on would be a wise choice lol
