Rural SmartHub hardware question

[wireless]

Hello,

I recently moved to an acreage near Calgary and am now on Telus SmartHub 500 GB wireless internet plan. I have the ZTE MF279T, which was their NEW one when I got it 2 months ago. It is a newer model than the MF279, and sales had told me this model was LTE+. It does connect to LTE+ but my download speed is capped at 25 Mbps. I was expecting that though.

Does anyone know about the newer one it now shows on their site? I believe it is the Huawei B612, same as is shown for business hubs. This one actually says it's LTE Advanced, but it shows both as being options.

My question I guess, is do they speed limit only rural users on the 500 GB plan? Like I know my current hub is capable of a lot more speed, and the Huawei one also says it is faster. I'd like to get the most speed I can out there as 25 Mpbs is low, wondering if anyone on the rural SmartHub plan has tried the Huawei one and do you ever get speeds well over 25 Mpbs?
