5G Speeds are a joke
Why does 5G suck worse than 56K dial up? Every app connection gives me a spinning wheel of death. Everything takes forever to load. T-Mobile has been lying about how good there 5G network is. It's garbage! The amount of money charged by T-Mobile should fund a good network. T-Mobile is over priced and not using the money correctly to support customers.
it didn't irritate me in the least..as i pointed out..my 5G works perfectly fine..so its not ALL of TMOs 5G...some locations sure..but no..not all.
gonna take a guess and say you're mainly in a rural area and not so much in a larger city? if so then it could be the band of 5G you are connecting to seeing as how most rural areas don't have all of the 5G bands
or as pointed out above your phone might not have all the 5G bands and is only working off the lesser of them.
phone purchased from TMO or some other route? if you have any other TMO phones around you whether on your account or not..if theyre signal is working perfectly fine but not yours then you already know where the culprit is..
I live in a relatively large city and 5G doesn't work in the downtown area where many TMobile towers are located. People with different devices experience the same problem.
As I have mentioned I experience a blazing 5G speed with my phone at the TMobile shop not far from the place where it doesn't work for me. So, it's not the phone issue.
And the phone has been purchased from T-Mobile.
So, the point that I wanted to bring is that 5G coverage is not consistent in the areas where TMobile claims that it is. If you're lucky it's great, if not back to LTE, at least it works.
A block from my home I get 300mbs but at my house I'm lucky to get 20mbs but I thinks it's because I have 3 large apartment complexes behind my house and the bandwidth is overloaded.
