Free Mobile SIM card in Canada: 3G or 4G? Internet speed ?

For more information about using the Free Mobile plan abroad, please click here.

Travelling in Canada for 3 months, we started using our Free SIM card.

Small disappointment, there seems to be no 4G agreements, we have to make do with 3G+.

The roaming goes through the Rogers operator.

The speed is correct, nothing more. The test below shows a download at 13Mbps and an upload at 1.4Mbps knowing that I regularly see slowdowns.

EDIT: From May 10, 2019, I start to get 4G intermittently with much better speeds.
