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...
You ‘can’ try something .. not sure if it will help, those icons aren’t always correct (i.e. 5G / 5G UC will sometimes show when connected to LTE B2 or B66 and no n41 or n71)
You can ‘force’ (or try) n41 SA mode (or n71 SA) and disable LTE
Eg. Last run indoors … 61Mbps down, 0.2Mbps upload. 5G. (LTE + n71)
Forcing n41 SA only, it will show 'no service' , then after a few minutes it 'might' show 1-2 bars of 5G UC. When it does .. 330-400Mbps download, ~2Mbps upload. (-110dBm, RSRQ -13dBm, SINR 5dB)
If I enable n41 + n71 SA, download is a little less (100MHz + 15MHz vs. 100MHz + 40MHz), but upload is better. ~265Mbps/17Mbps.
Home Internet has numeric values and a visual placement guide. It is somewhat more sensitive - and directional.
This is one of the downsides the higher end of midband and 5G vs 4G.
Signal is less tolerant to noise , and range is shorter.
If I go outside, there is no issue.
If you want to try and ‘play with the bands’ by all means.
