What mbps up and down are you expecting from your mobile proxies?

I don't mean 2022 numbers. What speeds would you consider to be acceptable today?
 
honestly anything under 50mbps down and 10mbps up is pretty disappointing these days
 
Since you manage a phone farm, how do you control that kind of thing when congestion happens or other independent variables around mobile wireless infrastructure?

Edit: Wouldn't 50 down and 10 up still mean 10 down as well? Because it's the bottleneck across the tunnel?

Today, you should expect acceptable real-world speeds of 20 to 50 Mbps down and 10 to 30 Mbps up for standard 4G/5G mobile proxies, while premium standalone 5G proxies should comfortably clear 50 to 100+ Mbps down.
That's the thing though, is it realistic? You are limited by your uplink throughput entirely..
 
I care more about stable upload than flashy download numbers. For most proxy work, if upload stays consistent and latency does not spike under load, I am happy even when the headline Mbps is lower.
 
There are still huge companies who still offer speeds between 5-30 mbps, usually smaller proxy sellers offer more speed as they have fewer devices.
I think a speed of around 50mbps its good for most tasks.
 
Unfortunately most of the rotating mobile proxies are under 10 and not stable. Expecting stable and at least 25+.
