Good Evening Weaver, could you confirm the iPad model number, if that's over 3G HSPA+ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Speed_Packet_Access

That's pretty decent.

It is, I think, a v4 (purchased April 2021) iPad Pro largest screen whatever that is. In Settings > About :: model number :: "MXF52B/A" and "A2232".

Was a new model iPad Pro released late this spring? If so I think I screwed up and should have waited, but my iPad Pro v1 was getting very unreliable and I was rather desperate.

I've no idea how that compares to a newer model, but it's an eight core gigabit LTE device according to everymac:

It can aggregate bands to get up to speeds of 1000/100 in perfect conditions, so a speed of 19 down and 4 up within a property is pretty decent.

Is that speed 3G or LTE?

Is that speed 3G or LTE?

Probably 3G, as Three's current LTE bands do not penetrate buildings that well.

I'm sure this is slightly different on different iOS devices, but on my iPhone 7, it says "4G" or "3G" in the top-left corner of the display, next to the signal strength indicator and mobile network name.

I also have the option to force 3G or 4G if I go to:

Settings -> Mobile data -> Mobile Data Options -> Voice & Data

You could try forcing it to 3G and see if that makes any difference to your speeds.

Those are very useable speeds and if you had an outside antenna I'm sure you could improve on them considerably.
