Data service signficantly decreased for the last week - can't use channel B66 anymore
We've been at our current location with T-Mobile for over 2 years and rely on the data service for internet service (we have almost no other options.) In the last week, the service has really nose d...

Because it's objectively worse by every measure. Which I already said.
On 2 and 66 - 80 Mbps down, 6 Mbps up, low latency, typically under 100ms
Now with 66 gone, using 2 and 12 - 15-20 Mbps down, 3 Mbps up, 200-900 latency (high jitter.) If I turn off band locking, I get worse, especially on the upload and latency.
5G - 5-6 Mbps down, 0.1Mbps up (often just fails, and often even slower than this), 900+ latency
B66 disappearing has severely reduced service, and not sure why it suddenly disappeared, and turning off band locking only makes things worse.

Been using B2 and B66 for over two years. Suddenly last week B66 disappeared. 5G has been terrible since we moved to this location, and is no better today.
