Hi. 

 

Strange request, but anyone out at Auckland Airport able to do a speed test from their 5G enabled phone or if they have a 5G router, a test that way? 

 

Particularly I am interested in upload speed.

Upload is not done over the 5G network but 4G / LTE

 

5G Upload is introduced in 5G standalone networks

Uplink LTE + NR (both) EN-DC / NSA is a thing - depends on device and radio network support.

@gajan At the moment on the SparkNZ 5G network upload in production is over the 4G / LTE network?

It depends on radio conditions, and device support - both 5G and 4G can be together to provide greater aggregate throughput compared to just one path - on 5G NSA.

Here you go outside the Auckland Domestic Terminal at 8:37 and 8:41 respectively.

 

Spark test was an iPhone 13 Mini, One was an iPhone 12 Pro

Not Auckland Airport but Auckland CBD 2 weeks ago

 


 
 
 

Move to New Zealand's best fibre broadband service (affiliate link). Free setup code: R587125ERQ6VE. Note that to use Quic Broadband you must be comfortable with configuring your own router.

So it seems to be an issue with coverage near a clients building. Interesting their 5G router gets very high download speeds and very low upload speeds, but phones get high uploads and slow downloads. 

 

VF say it's within SLA and aren't interested in looking into it further.
