Definitely not. 4.4% would be super noticeable in online gaming. Packetloss is literally the definition of a bad connection in my book, no low ping or fast download speed can overcome that.

That's what I was thinking. Might have just been a once off or maybe a bad WiFi connection.
I also have a B315 and a B525 and I will never get rid of my B315.
The B525 is great when there is no congestion and it can also do LTE-A which the B315 cannot do.
However once your tower fills up with users and things start getting congested and speeds drop below 5 Mbps, thats when a B315 comes into it's own.
I often switch over to my B315 as the B525 just cannot cut it.

That’s the first I’m hearing of that to be honest. I’ve been on sub 20-30mbps for months now. Switching to the B525 made an immediate improvement, as you can see.
Yes me too, during the day my 525 is nearly twice as fast as my 315.
But come 9pm and there are a zillion users on the tower the 525 slows down to below 5 mbps.
I then switch over to the 315 and it goes over 20.

Where are you?Got my B525 earlier to replace the B315s-936. Pretty big jump in speed. If anyone is interested in a B315, I'm gonna be flogging mine for R500

Our LTE for some reason isn't throttled after 150GB. Enjoying 20-50Mbps speed after that.

You and my parents are in a similar boat, except it seems you are a lot worse off.
My parents get 1Mbps download, and 10Mbps upload, yet it's supposed to be the other way around.
