I'm facing an issue where app downloads and updates are painfully slow. I don't have the fastest connection over WiFi at home (7mbps) but it's this same connection that I used to use on the iPhone 5S. Now a 60MB Facebook app update is taking 15-20 minutes to download.
However when I try it on my LTE connection (20-25mbps), it takes less than a minute to download. I know my LTE is theoretically faster, but my WiFi still shouldn't take that long even if I get full 7mbps. I tried a SpeedTest to check if there's something wrong with my WiFi but I got the proper 6-6.5mbps results. My browsing and apps are all fine. The App Store browsing is also fine. It's just the downloads that are slow.
