5G data throttling

NOS doesnt limit your bandwidth. Have you done the speedtest on a personal pc with a cable conected?

Good night @Ed van Willegen,

Although I, as a user of the NOS Forum, can’t provide absolute guarantees regarding speeds on a 5G connection on a specific phone, I can share general information about speed expectations.

5G technology has the potential to offer much faster data speeds compared to previous generations of mobile networks, such as 4G. However, the actual speed a user will experience on a 5G connection can vary due to various factors, including:

• Network Coverage: 5G connection speed can vary depending on the network coverage in your area. The availability of the 5G network may be limited to certain regions or urban areas. Check the 5G coverage in your specific location to get a more accurate idea of the expected speed.

• 5G Frequencies: 5G networks can operate on different frequency bands, such as millimeter-wave (mmWave) and sub-6GHz wave bands. Millimeter-wave bands can offer higher speeds but have limited range. Sub-6GHz bands provide greater range but slightly lower speeds. The speed you experience will depend on the frequency available in your area and the device you are using.

• Device Capability: The speed you can achieve on a 5G connection also depends on the capability of your mobile device. Not all devices are compatible with all 5G frequency bands and can vary in terms of features and processing capabilities. Check the technical specifications of your device to see which 5G frequency bands it supports and what speeds are expected.

• Network Congestion: During periods of high demand, such as in densely populated areas or popular events, there may be network congestion, which can affect the speed of your 5G connection. In such situations, the network capacity may be shared by many users, resulting in lower speeds for each user.

It is important to note that the maximum theoretical speeds advertised for 5G technology are achievable under ideal network and equipment conditions. The actual speed you experience will depend on the factors mentioned above.

Thank you

And this is what my router tells me:

A speed test directly to your servers. Terrible my friend!!

That INC regards to a phone problem it seems. Contact again to run a proper speedtest. Usualy a technician is sent if values are low like that

My friend 3 hours I have been talking. I have send all the speed tests in the world to them. I have talked to 2 teams. Bla bla enough but no change in performance up till today. Almost a month later😳

They can come to my house. They will see that everything is in perfect order if it comes to equipment. NOS is tuning down!

Tenho evidências convincentes de que a NOS está reduzindo contratos ao limitar as velocidades da Internet. Eles permitem que você pague, mas nenhum serviço de acordo com suas promessas é entregue. Nunca a velocidade da Internet é alcançada como a escrita em seus anúncios. Leia isto e deixe-me saber se você tem experiências semelhantes!

Tell me my friend exactly where is says in the advertisement that I am not allowed to use it in a router?  Where is that disclaimer stated execatky on the same page where price and speed are offered?  Where?

Secondly my router is mobile (movel) as much as a telemovel. It doesn’t state what and what cannot be used in section 3!

Still NOS is taking people for a ride. 

Even the announced speeds are far from reality!

Finally if you guys are so good why did I talk for 3 hours with your technical team and no-one could resolve the issue??  Because you are throttling speed and telling half truths  making unclear announcements and fooling people.

But here and everyone is warned now:

This is where they are hiding it!!

Boa tarde @Ed van Willegen,

Agradecemos a sua mensagem. 

Consideramos ter esclarecido o tema por si anteriormente partilhado.
Detalhe-nos, por favor, caso tenha alguma outra questão em que possamos ajudar.

Obrigado

So what you are saying is that you broke a rule and admit it, so the bad guy is NOS here

Here you go again! As long as you think in terms rules and not in terms of service you are a long way from home my friend. Keep going you will have a lot of customers left at the end!

It clearly states that you cannot route this connection to other terminals, being a router or a TV it clearly breaks that rule. Yet if you have a mobile phone and that terminal also has that speed the it clearly will be NOS fault.
Just make a speed test on a mobile phone and if that gives the same speed then its NOS fault.

It’s hidden in the terms of service. One thing is clear. I am out!  You guys win👍👍👍
