So, I got a Pixel 6 and decided to go for an eSim (because new technology's always good, right?!). Whilst I was waiting for the eSim to become available, I popped my old sim card in my Pixel 6.
I use moble hotspots/USB tethering a lot, for both my work laptop as well as my personal one when I'm out and about. When I had the physical sim card in my phone, I was achieving 5G speeds on both downloads and uploads on any device I was tethering to (the expected 50+mbps DL and 10-12mbps UL), and was very happy.
Since activating the eSim though, my DL speed on any tethered device has dropped to around 0.4mbps. The UL is unaffected and remains at 5G speeds. Whilst tethered, I've ran a speed test on the tethered device, then immediately after ran the same speed test directly on the phone. The phone is still achieving 50+mbps speeds, yet tethering is unusably slow - Outlook on my work laptop locks up when I try and open an email, it's that slow!! I've gone through every setting I can find that might affect this, but nothing works. Everything was fine until I used the eSim, so I can only assume it's something to do with the sim setup?
Has anyone else encountered this issue, on any eSim device?
EE, can you help?!
