That's 3.2MB/s?
Check sig.
26Mbps on LTE isn't that great though.

I think vodacom limits the connection speeds in most areas to those speeds.. Was in an area with lte-a and had almost identical speed..

Unlikely is most probably the spectrum limitation they have on band 3. Vodacom is mostly using Rain for their LTE-A coverage and I have yet to see LTE-A on their own network maybe at certain points but not widely available. Any LTE-A that includes carrier aggregation with band 38 is Vodacom roaming on Rain.

MTN also has a lot of LTE-A coverage surprisingly using 5MHz refarmed 3G spectrum from 2100MHz.

Wow, that's 72 Megabyte per second. I assume you mean Kilobits per second.
8 bits = 1 byte
1024 bits = 1 Kb
1024 bytes = 1 KB
1024 KB = 1 MB
1024 MB = 1 GB
1024 GB = 1 TB

So the P8 Lite got 9Mbps, the Vodafone was in bits or bytes? If bits it was 3Mbps, so 1/3 of the speed, if bytes, it was 24Mbps, therefore 2.5 times the speed.

DUDE Dude it was 9 Thousand Kilobytes cause the OOKLA speedtest app was set to kB/s
 
LTE Very Slow - Webpage Loading

Hello MyBroadband

i have been using The internet with LAN Cable and i have 4 Bars Signal, i am at my Grand parents House.
the internet "LTE" was so Xtremely Faaasst yesterday, now after 7pm today i cant load a few local webpages in milliseconds it just loads and loads and loads,. i scanned my pc with latest malwarebytes. i phoned Vodacom 082 155 for a connection reset but i am trying to load 5FM.co.za but its soo slow as a Snail.
i have a Huawei B593 with Unrestricted APN. obviously its on 4G Connection.

any help as to what the problem is ?? anyone experiencing slow webpages loads when i download on steam its Still 3.5 - 4.1 MB/Second but google chrome is a bit slow.

i noticed now That when i apply the Unrestricted APN to my Router i get the 41.192 what i see is before i apply that APN its Very Very Fast.

Could be slow DNS. You shoult try forcing google dns and see if that helps but if the connection is fast but slow browsing it's usually a DNS issue
