Very slow 5G speeds in the GTA

[hashimj]

I’m getting 2-5X slower speeds on 5G vs LTE in Vaughan. Wonder if other users are facing the same slower speeds? On an iPhone 13 Pro.

Greetings @hashimj,

Thank you for posting your concern in the Community and welcome to the Rogers Community Forums!

Dealing with slow speeds is the worst! I'd be looking for a solution as well.

When did the issue started? Is it indoors only or also happening outdoors? Is the device purchased directly from us or via a third-party source?

We look forward to hearing from you.

Cheers,

RogersRahul

Good day @beerhoff,

Welcome to the Rogers Community and thank you for bringing this up to our attention!

We appreciate the details you provided in your post. You mentioned using your device since mid-December; Were 5G speeds previously fast enough or did you just change to Rogers as a service provider?

Additionally, if you upgraded your hardware, are you able to confirm whether you changed your SIM card to a new one as well?

Let us know if you've gone through any troubleshooting steps since noticing the issue!

Hi @RogersMaude,

I changed to Rogers as a service provider. I tested it in downtown yesterday. It was ~300Mb/s, but not in North York at the location I mentioned previously.

>>are you able to confirm whether you changed your SIM card to a new one as well<< All is new and came from Rogers.

>>Let us know if you've gone through any troubleshooting steps since noticing the issue!<< Negative. Please share details so I can share results.

Hello, @beerhoff.

Thanks for the additional info, and welcome to Rogers. Since you were getting ~300 Mbps speed in downtown, we don't need to troubleshoot your device. 

How is the signal strength when you are testing in North York? The issue could be related to other factors like distance, Cell site frequency, obstructions, RF interferences, terrain/geography, etc. You can check the network status and report the slow speed. 

Cheers,

RogersMoin

At least you’re getting upwards of 50mb/s I get ONE POINT THREE so 1.3mb/s that is slower than my fathers dial up Internet and I’ve been with rogers since 2018 and I haven’t gotten more than 10mb/a even on lte or 5G inside outside anywhere
