SLOW - QMI with Sixfab 3G-4G/LTE Base Shield v2

Hello,

I have been working on the (3g-4glte-base-shield-v2 HAT) with the (Quectel-EC25-A) modem. I have it on the AT&T network in Chicago. Using a Raspberry Pi 3B+, (Raspbian-Buster image) with original Raspberry Pi power cord.

Everything has been update also using (sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade)

Install went great following the Sixfab tutorial
(https://sixfab.com/qmi-interface-with-3g-4g-lte-base-shield-v2/)
I connect just fine however my speed is basically 0.
I get an IP from AT&T Enterprise but if I do a speed test the results are

PING: 121
Download (Mbps): 0.01
Upload (Mbps): 0.00

Is this an AT&T issue, Quectel Modem issue, Raspberry Pi issue, Sixfab HAT issue, or USER issue…???

Here are some out puts.

Hi,

Which antennas are you using?
Did you check the signal strength?

Hi Saeed. I am using the Sixfab ( LTE Antenna SMA – 3dBi ) x2 inside the IP65 IoT enclosure.

Signal strength out put is:

AT+CSQ
+CSQ: 17,99

I replaced the SIM card and the speed is now better.
