amaysim 5G Vs 4G - Why?

I’m trying to ascertain why Amaysim offer 5G services the way they do?
If I use 5G I’m capped at 100mbps download, but on 4G, where I live I get 250-400, switching to 5G seems to be a waste 99% of the time.

Even in areas where I get slow 4G the 5G is either non existent or even slower. Kinda seems like a waste.

Thank

    Amaysim are owned by Optus now, and fill the gap at the low end of the market.
    They need to artificially create a difference between contracting directly with Optus, rather than them, so they cap speeds and place restrictions you could avoid if you went with Optus directly, and paid the higher price.

  • Lower ping? I notice Telstra updated their 5G plans, to cap the speed of the lower price plans (relatively lower price) and only full speed on the more expensive ones. Gotta give people a reason to pay more I suppose, even if they aren't already using the full unshaped data allowance in the cheaper plans.
