Yes, I get pretty similar indoor 4G speeds on my iPhone X here in the UK. And I also saw exactly 330 Mbps via WiFi to my 5G router. My MacBook is a little faster, 430 Mbps.
I have heard of these claims of 1Gbps+ massive MIMO LTE in Singapore, but is it really achievable in the real world or just a "theoretical" speed? There are impressive speed claims for 5G here in the UK, but 500 Mbps or so seems to be the real-world peak for most current devices.
- eru 6y agoWhen I connect my laptop via copper cable to our fibre modem, I get just shy of the Gigabit. Only a few handsets can achieve the Gigabit LTE. I don't think any iPhone is amongst them. (It is after all predominately an American device. And what good would that capability do you in the US?) The Gigabit LTE is useful in practice not so much for any sustained Gigabit speeds, but because it allows your phones to 'race to idle'. Most traffic is bursty, and higher peak speeds mean your phone transmits for a smaller proportion of time. Leaving more time for other phones on the network, and perhaps helping with battery conservation?
