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+.
 
I’d say 20-30 Download is fine and around 10 upload. You can get most done with this
 
Depends on the real phone behind the connection, so nobody can guarantee a fixed number. At DataImpulse we are also have a mobile pool. We check this regularly and typical is around 5 to 10 Mbps up and down, carrier and city means a lot. Our advice before choosing a particular provider is to run a speed test via the proxy on your website.
 
20-30 down is fine for me. What actually matters is latency, high ping kills you faster than low speed.
 
Dedicated mobile (4G/5G): 20–80 Mbps down is normal, more on good 5G, with upload usually 5–20 Mbps and around 50–150 ms latency. Below ~10 Mbps down on a dedicated device usually means bad signal or an overloaded cell
 
something around 20 - 30 mbs stable connection shall do the work and above 10 up speed
 
Yes, if the phone is the exit node, the site’s response reaches the phone and then leaves over its mobile uplink. So a 50 Mbps down / 10 Mbps up phone connection may cap your download through that proxy near 10 Mbps (often lower after overhead). Test from the client through the full proxy path, not on the phone.
