M1 150mbps on iPhone 5/5S?

[Oonie]

Just realised today that M1 has also started offering 150mbps LTE/4G. But according to this site, https://www.m1.com.sg/personal/bundles and promotions/highlights/4G-150Mbps, the iPhone is not eligible for the 150mbps speed boost?

Anyone has anymore info on this?

Can the iPhone 5/5S even support 150mbps LTE/4G?

I don't think iPhone 5c/5s can support the 150mbps... As far as I know the two models can support many LTE bands but not the higher speeds.

But honestly, is there even a difference...

Both support max 100mbps.
Ans to ur 2nd qn, by upgrading to the 15bps vas, yep there is still an increase in LTE speeds. Infact around 1.5x faster.

I mean in real life performance. 150 is a theoretical value, but considering how... unreliable our telcos can be at times, I highly doubt there's a noticeable difference compared to regular LTE.

I could be wrong though.

Yep in real life.

75mbps could net 12-15mbps at a certain location, but with 150mbps, it reached 20+mbps

Well, all I can hope is for Apple to jump straight to LTE Advanced with the iPhone 6. Haha.

No for any normal day use , you will not feel any difference unless you are a streamer and then also load time of 1 sec vs 1.2 sec is hardly noticeable ...

Also just below on that M1 page you can see the actual speed which you can expect ...
"The typical speed range of 150Mbps is 21.4 – 63.4Mbps ............"
