Got these speeds on Telus 5G in Oakville, ON (Canada) near Bronte area. Wondering what kind of speeds others are getting across the Great White North.

What spectrum bands are being used?
I’m getting the same speed here on TELUS 5G in Pitt Meadows. Blazing fast.
Ran a speed test tonight on iPhone 12 Pro on Rogers 5G in London Ontario. 295 Mbps download and 107 Mbps upload.Got these speeds on Telus 5G in Oakville, ON (Canada) near Bronte area. Wondering what kind of speeds others are getting across the Great White North.

Hello neighbour! LolI’m getting the same speed here on TELUS 5G in Pitt Meadows. Blazing fast.
i went from a NON-5g rogers plan to a 5g rogers plan. I just put in my old sim card from my iphone x to the new iphone 12 and the new phone recognizes 5g but was much slower than LTE. LTE=143 dl and 5g=62 dl. I forced my phone to use 5g (not auto)
What gives? Do I need a new SIM card for 5G speeds?
Here's the thing, I did not speak to rogers at all. I bought the phone directly from apple online. Once i recieved the new phone, took out my old Rogers SIM from iphone X, put it in my new iphone. I realized my old Rogers plan wasn't giving me 5G. I then went to Rogers online and selected a new plan on my own. It switched automatically to the new plan within minutes and I could then see I was connecting to 5G on new phone. I guess the only way to know for sure is to call Rogers and see what they say. I'm in no rush, 5g during these times is very low priority.I don’t think so, if they didn’t tell you you needed a new Sim when you switched plans, presumably no problem. Especially since it’s saying you’re connected ro 5G.
Depending on where you’re located, I think the generally accepted view is that for now, Canadian 5G isn’t any faster than LTE (similar in US but for Verizon Ultrawide Band / mmWave). Some areas may have faster 5G, but I think it varies greatly on location and carrier.
My Telus LTE was faster than 5G (in Toronto) when I tested on a Fri evening.
If it's anything like wifi calling in its early days it may be something Rogers needs to enable on their end. Something like "marking" your device as eligible for their 5g network. This is more likely if you didn't buy the device from Rogers directly. Just a theory, of course.i went from a NON-5g rogers plan to a 5g rogers plan.

Agreed. @jgo78 I think it's most likely the case that you're on Rogers 5G (especially given you saw the top right change to 5G after you changed your plan online, when it was only LTE previously). And no new sim needed. But I guess you can't really be sure unless you ask them.
