4g+

[robo650]

Hi folks. Is there any possible way to prevent the 4g+? 4g is fine and quicker in the sense is just stays on 4g, but it's always changing to 4g+. The signal drops, and the speed is slower. I know it can't be changed in the settings, but it's a proper headache. I put a PAYG SIM in from another carrier with just 4g, and it leaves it standing with speed and signal strength. Any help would be fantastic. Cheers

Hello 👋 @robo650 

Your phobe will latch automatically onto the best signal available where you are at the time. 

You do have some control in the Connections section in Settings however you can't stop the phone connecting to ⁴G+ afaik. 

My phone's almost always on ⁴G+ and haven't personally experienced anything negative, especially in regards to speeds. 

This may actually be a mast issue or network congestion. 

If i can be of any further help please don't hesitate to ask  😎

Thanks mate. Yeah, 4g is fine, but 4g+ is slow. It be better if I could stick to 1 band instead of it trying to use multiple bands, but that's not a easy thing to do.

I've tried that. It's the lte "carrier aggregate" that I'm trying to disable

Interesting what speed you have between those?

Speed: 

4G: Has speeds of 15–20 Mbps for downloads and 10–15 Mbps for uploads

4G+: Has speeds of 50–80 Mbps for downloads and 15–20 Mbps for uploads

That's the signal strength between 2 SIM cards. Same tower

And here's the speed, 4g being the fastest

[INTRASERVER]

Both are same carrier SIM cards?

This is inside my house, does get faster outside depending where I am, but it gets slow on 4g+
