Samsung A71 5G Network Issues
So I bought a new samsung a71 5g from the tmobile store almost 2 weeks ago. Love the phone overall but the signal is getting me under 3mbps download and maybe 5mbps upload speeds in places by old pho...
From what I hear, there are some issues with some of the new 5G phones. Have you tried setting it in 4G/LTE preferred mode? Just to see what happens.

I don't have this phone, I have a different 5G phone on T-Mobile. I did go in and get a new SIM card, the R15 version that can be a fix for some 5G issues. I wonder if you have tried this yet? https://www.t-mobile.com/support/devices/latest-sim-for-great-network-experience
I did this as I had a series of strange 5G issues with a OnePlus 5G phone, and had been using the same SIM I had since a Samsung S series phone. Just upgraded this week and it appears my phone is working way better with 5G with the new SIM. If many of you upgraded to your A71 5G from a prior phone and have the older SIM still, I'm wondering if that could be a contributing factor to your issue?
Hope this helps!
I am using the brand new Sim. I read that every time you get a new phone you should get a new SIM. I would not be surprised if a lot of people have varieties of issues due to old SIM cards.
