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).
You're more than likely a victim of deprioritization. Check the stats values on your Tmobile gateway for the advanced metrics for signal on both 4g lte and 5g

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 just got done with me FCC complaint. T-mobile told me that our area towers are over congested and they have no plans to add towers to fix the poor/no connectivity.
for what its worth...they wouldnt add more towers..they would need to do upgrades to the already existing towers to beef them up more.
