Network Congestion
I would like to know if there is a way to modify the home internet gateway to run with 4g data rather than 5g? Yes a bit backward question I know, but the T-Mobile home gateway I have is clearly suff...
Tbh, the gateways run both 4g lte and 5g… and at the same time (5g NSA mode).

Starlink would not work out to be the best for what is offered for my location. I am not far from the 5g cell site. That's what kills me. Speeds when humming along are super fast for the price T-Mobile charges. Problem is I do not believe the network congestion can be overcome unless T-Mobile upgrades their cell site. Which I do not think will happen. Thank you for the suggestion.
I live in Chandler and I went to a local Cox store to see if they had any special offers. The sales person offered me 2 years for $65 a month including a tower.
As for phone service my data suffers when I'm at home because there's multiple large apartment complexes near me so I stay on wifi when I'm home. At work by Sky Harbor the speeds are usually 300 up and 20 down.
