EE restricts pay as you go to 25mbps and does not allow access to 5G, prices are also a rip off compared to other phone companies such as smarty. EE is extremely unethical

Not all pay as you go customers are on 25mbps speed. Anyone who was a pay as you go customer before this started was kept on max speed. My daughter been pay as you go with EE for 3 years and her speed are in the range of 70-120 mbps speed.

Actually the maximum Speed of 3G H+ is 42Mbs, but as I said in my previous Post you will struggle to get anywhere close to Your quoted 25mbs Speed on 3G using any 3GPP Technology in the real World.
