It keeps getting better!
I live in South Florida and enrolled in T-Mobile Home Internet (TMHI) in December of '22. At that time, I had three bars of 4G LTE. I was getting around 50 Mbps download speed, more than enough to stream TV and run my computers and all my smart devices.
About a month ago, I received a notice that the tower I use was scheduled for maintenance and might be down for a day. It never went down, but now, three weeks later, I suddenly have 5G in addition to 4G LTE. My download speeds are now about double what they were with just 4G, and my upload speed changed from 9-10 Mbps to 25 Mbps.
I'm still determining what work was done on the tower, but my inability to receive 5G has been resolved without even a call to Support!
I'm in. Ft. Lauderdale area and my gateway always shoes 5 bars! But the download speed shows 0.8Mbps (super slow) these days. Used to be more than 100Mbps. My Mac is directly connected to the gateway with an ether cable. I called Support and she told me there are too many users now in my area :(
I’m thinking of switching back to Comcast.

Odd you should say that. I now often only display two bars instead of the three I used to get, but my download speeds are double. When I dig deeper into the metrics of my Arcadyan KVD21 5G gateway at http://192.168.12.1/TMI/v1/gateway?get=all y http://192.168.12.1/TMI/v1/gateway?get=signal, I see that I only have two bars of 4G but three to four bars of 5G. I assume they are bonded together by the gateway to produce the final access. You might want to check yours for a detailed picture of your gateway's signal.
As I said in the title of my post, for me, in Boca, it just keeps improving.
