If you are using T-Mobile (ONLY T-MOBILE PLEASE) on your CELL PHONE or TABLET I am hoping you can do me a favor. I am interested in what UPLOAD (not download) Speeds you are getting. This ONLY pertains to T-Mobile, NO OTHER CARRIER. Please don't reply with any other carrier results. Please do this only with "relatively" newer (1-2 years old) devices.

Please do the following:
1)Download the speedtest.net app (or use your browser to go to www.speedtest.net (http://www.speedtest.net)) to your cell phone or tablet. The app will give you more consistent results. Please only use this app or website so everything is the same. After downloading the app please make sure your WIFI is TURNED OFF
2)If you have a 5G phone and if you know how to do it, please turn OFF 5G on your phone, if you can't just let me know if 5G is showing as your current connection. 5G sucks up battery life so you are better off with it off anyway. :)
3)Run the app and please document what your UPLOAD (not download) result is. Run the test a couple times so you can and get an average.
4) Let me know APPROX where you are running this test from (Village is fine).

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide. Please let's not turn this into a "which carrier is better" thread as that is not it's purpose and won't help. I am trying to work with T-MO tech support to resolve a problem which may be tower equipment or location related.

Thank you everyone. That helps a lot and should be sufficient. :bigbow:

@mods: This thread may be locked if desired.

This is why I ask (see attached). I have 2 iPads (an iPad Pro and an iPad Mini 5) both LTE (not 5G) and both get great download speeds but upload is horrible. This suddenly started about 2 months ago and T-Mo can't figure out why. It was "normal" before then. I do NOT have T-Mo for cellular service although I have put the 2 iPad DATA ONLY sims in my iPhone 12 Pro Max and get the same lousy upload speeds. They claim the sims are provisioned properly. I am in Amelia on the higher side of one of the highest point here in T.V. Around 125' ASL. Oh, and the 2.0 Mbps UPLOAD is relatively great as it has been around .17 to .20 recently.
