    Hi all,

    I purchased a S23 Ultra last month in the states as I got a great deal on it.

    I had done my homework prior and knew I'd have to unlock a few more operating bands to open up full coverage for Europe.

    I have enabled all operating bands that are on the phone so I should be getting great speeds on 5g etc but I'm not.

    Every place I go, I'm getting capped to 10Mbps. I changed my sim card in vodafone today and the guy at the counter took his phone out and did a comparison for speed. He was getting about 180Mbps and I was sitting on 10Mbps.

    I am just after popping in a Gomo sim I've  lying around and I'm getting about 250Mpbs here.

    I'm confident the phone is not the problem and I'm wondering would Vodafone have the IMEI capped/flagged as it's not an Irish purchased device? I had seen mention of something similar by a user on XDA.

    Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
