Poor cellular connectivity at specific location? T-mobile says it my phone. It's not.

Where I live I have 5G UC and am fortunate to have blazing fast mobile connection using an iPhone 15 pro. [screenshot of 1336Mbps]

However, while I am at a town at the beach, I have 5G but no connectivity. Support has had me reboot my phone several times, even reset the network settings on the phone. No change. [screenshots of 4.14 & 7.96 Mbps] There are towers located relatively close to me. [screenshots of towers]

I have tried working with T-Mobile support on three different visits to this problem location. First I was told my phone is the problem. Next time they were "working on the towers". The last time I was told it was my phone. I'm very frustrated as I have no connection to do work with this poor connection. I have tried using the support techs and tried all the things they suggested, knowing it seems that it is NOT my phone. I will be at the poor connection location later this week and expect the same issues.

How can I get someone to look into the connection issues at the location and stop saying my phone is broken? Thank you for any advice!

    You may want to poke at the metrics tab on your iPhone *3001#12345#* (If I'm not mistaken)

    Android devices have have some tools/apps that can give more / visual info.

    I've had items like this - where T-Mobile shows '5G UC' on their coverage map, yet it is 'No Service' outdoors.

    Thanks! I’ll try that when I am there this weekend.
