Signal Booster for Sprint Clients
I used to use Sprint's Magic Box Gen 3 as a signal booster as I live in a rural area and the reception is very poor. Since T-Mobile took over Sprint, they discontinued the Magic Box in March which le...
at 8 miles out a butterflies fart could affect the 5G signal lol. figure usually by 5ish miles your phone should be switching to a different tower..
in most cases that i have seen so far 5G is a bit hit and miss..some places the speeds will be screaming..if youre in a more rural area you’ll have it but it’ll be right on par with 5G speeds if that..for the moment you can switch to 4G only and see if your speeds improve or if you travel quite a bit you might just opt to keep it on 5G and let it switch to it when its available.
how are your 4G speeds?
Hola fireguy_6364,
I just saw your reply, thank you. Since then I have bought a signal booster (not cheap) and I have 5G on all of my phones now, as well as 4 or 5 bars. I have been thinking of getting a signal booster but didn't want to spend so much money as I am not sure if that'll work. I decided to try it and have no regrets whatsoever. The only problem is that the phones have to be close to the booster (about 5 feet). But that's not a problem since I work at home and I can put the booster next to me. Even if I am not near the booster, I still get better reception with 4G Lite. And my streaming has been improved tremendously.
When I travel, I usually have no problem getting 5G.
