I live out in the sticks in the Waikato so I don't see much 5G.

 

Was in Hamilton last week finishing off xmas shopping and I noticed my new iPhone 13 Pro Max had a 5G signal.

 

So I fired up Speedtest.net (App) and this is what I got.

 

 

That's pretty impressive at 464Mbps.

 

I was at Waihi beach a few days later and there was a 5G mast right outside the batch I was visiting. Only got 150Mbps though.

 

Anyone seen higher speeds?

I think the speed tests on 5G use a bit of data, so not in hurry to do one. :)

Just came across this thread so thought I'd post my fastest - was 705Mbps down and 78Mbps up. Ping 15.2ms, jitter 3.3ms. Location was The Concourse in Henderson on 18/12.

 

I just checked how much data it used for the test - 1.25Gb!!!! I had noooo idea!

@jackyleunght2002 This is normal if you are not in very close range of the serving cell
