So I have a major complaint maybe someone can help me technically with this. My android phone gets 50-100mb/s download speed. My iPhone has never gotten over 10 mb/s in the same exact area. Every single iPhone model I’ve ever had. 7 Plus, 8 Plus, and Now the X same exact ****. Anyone have any knowledge what I can do? It’s really pissing me off and Kinda makes me wanna switch directly to android.

3rd party mvno's get low priority and slower access to the network.
You will never get the same speeds post paid AT&T customers get with straight talk.

I hear you, the price is good if you can deal with a little slower speed than normal you can save some money.

I'm not sure what android phone you're comparing it to, but my Note 8 got about double the data speeds than my iPhone X in areas I've visited. However, since the iPhone could still get over a 100mb/s that is more than sufficient for streaming and mobile internet/app use.

The Note has gigabit LTE and the antennas to support it. However, this is one aspect of both devices and you have to take all the other strengths and weaknesses into account.
