Telus 5G+ took 52s to download a 15MB app
Hi,
As per my previous frustrations with TELUS 5G,

I wanted to share today how terrible it really is, in a real world scenario.
I was out filling gas, and the gas pump said, save $0.05/litre with the app. I went to go download the app over TELUS 5G+, and it's -30C here on Edmonton, AB. The app was only 30MB, but it was crawling. Took 2 minutes to download, whilst every second I am freezing. This was worse then 3rd world internet.
I reported the slow data speed via the telus reporting issues site.
I came home, and decided to download another app over 5G at my house, which is 5 minutes away to show how insanely slow the speeds are. You can see in the video it takes about 52s to download a 15MB app
I for sure know it was never like this in 2023. A 15MB file should be instant.
In the video you can see my 5G+ downloading the 15MB app, vs what happens when I download the same app over wifi.
This is at 9PM MST. Not peak hours. At peak hours, there is no data flow even with full bars.
