We ... found that average 4G speeds are slowing – from 19Mbps to 10.16Mbps in just under a year. The reason? It’s likely because more customers have signed up to 4G, thus increasing demand on the network and slowing speeds.

It will get much slower unless they increase prices to make it real Business Mobile users only.
If people use it for fixed use that will kill it.

I have seen a drastic slow down in 4G speeds on eMobile. From 50-60 mb at launch to 20-30mb if I'm lucky these days. Test locations are the same. No real surprise.
