Hi MSheer_10 ,
Thanks for the additional information. It is very helpful. You mention that one of your devices keeps switching back to 3G which tells me that they may not be connecting to your Cell Fi booster. If the devices are constantly switching between 3G/4G then this would lead to degradation in speeds. Can you please try the following and let me know if your speeds improve?
Settings>Advanced Settings>Cellular>Band Region>LTE Only>Apply
Re-run a couple of speed tests after forcing to 4G only. You can also try forcing to 3G and compare the result. When you are using the speedtest.net app, please ensure that all tests are conducted using the same speedtest.net server for a proper comparison. The app automatically chooses a server which may give you mixed results. Ensuring the speedtest server is always the same will give you a more accurate comparison. Just something to check.
Regards,
Arodi
