LTE is faster - Pixel 6

I have been having a HORRIBLE time keeping signal, my connection isn't always available, and my battery seems to drain super quick.  I got a new Pixel 6, and thought maybe it was the phone, but didn't have that issue when I was with a carrier that used tmobile's lines, so I thought it was odd.  I switched over to LTE and my connection is so so so much faster.  Fast, like it used to be.  I'm sticking with LTE. Besides every time I looked at my phone it would toggle 5G /UC, over and over. I'm sure that was draining my battery.  Quick fix for a horrible problem.  I almost switched carriers

    Same issue for me on Samsung S21 5G - spotty 5G coverage at home. More recently 4G LTE switching bands frequently when at home also yielding poorer performance than just a month or so ago.Not sure whether it's T-Mobile or Samsung issue.

    It's a Google thing.  The Pixel 6 has had radio issues all around the world since it's release.  I sold my Pixel 6 about 2 months after release because the issues wasn't fixed for me.  Went back to my Pixel 5.
