Is my neighbor's 4G LTE Cellspot degrading my service?
For reference I live in an apartment building which has acceptable T-Mobile service as I've gone years without any issues living here. A new neighbor has moved in recently, and I noticed that I have ...
I've seen these in some places (commercial store) before. Range is typically quite short ~100' maybe.
Depending on the device you have, you may be able to ‘disable LTE’, and pick up only 5G from T-Mobile towers, or similarly some devices allow you to disable a band (B4/B66 in this case).
Of course, that's not a great solution, and you can contact T-Mobile and file a complaint for 'slow internet' and point out that a neighbor is using a cellspot to a poor internet service. The 'can' push a block to one of these cell spots, and ensure that you're not connecting to it .. but will they ? Similarly, if its B4/B66, and your phone uses it … you'll have weaker service in general.
