Have tested an iPad 2 on T-Mobile PAYG Mobile Broadband vs. an iPhone 4s on a contract plan in exactly the same location using the same server on the Speedtest App.
The iPad was able to achieve 4.5Mbps consistently whereas the iPhone topped out at 1.85Mbps every time. The graph for the iPhone is suspiciously flat suggesting it is being artificially capped.
Now nothing in my documentation suggests a cap on my T-Mobile download speed. The 4s is supposed to be capable of 14.4Mbps after all so it seems wrong that T-Mobile should hobble what is their premium phone offering.
Does anyone have definitive info regarding a possible speed cap on T-Mobile iPhone contracts, and whether it can be lifted?
