slow 5G
Why is TMobile 5G so slow? The only time my S22 Ultra is even close to 4G speeds is when connected to wifi. On 5G it's worse than 2G. I've had my sim card replaced but no change. I'm sitting in the m...
Hard to be worse for performance than 2g (~128-200kbps, 1second lag).
This might be something with your area. In my area (SoCal) 5G (typically 5G UC) are 300Mbps to 1Gbps normally, and in a few areas … close to 2Gbps).
- Does your phone show '5G' or '5G UC'. 5G SA n71 is and can be worse than 4G LTE. Often 5G NSA n71 (with LTE) doesn't always give better performance.
- How ‘good’ is the signal, and is it ‘5G UC’ ?
- Often indoors, 5G UC is really poor, and ends up on 5G which can be worse. Eg. Moto Edge 2022 - 5G UC, 'at home' outdoors , +500Mbps. Indoors between 300Mbps and sometimes 15Mbps (5G n71 SA).
Fortunately, on Samsungs, you can disable some bands (Moto as well, not as easy).
