5G Home Internet nightly slow down
Hey all, I've had the black 5G gateway for a couple days now, and have been a T-Mobile customer for just as long. I guess the issue I'm having is looking like one that a lot of other people are as we...
New T-Mobile Home internet customer that has just replaced my ATT 4G equivalent due to T-Mobile's unlimited 5G cap for the same price. I am 3 miles from my closest tower but have my 5G antenna on a 60' tower pointed at the T-Mobile tower. I'm out in the boonies when I'm using this setup. I get 4 out of 5 bars but I'm getting only 6 MB down and 20MB up. I don't really need blazing fast speeds for my applications. The upload speed is fine for me but the down speed is terrible. I am waiting on a new WaveForm 4x4 MIMO antenna to place at 60' to see if that will help but I was positive that I should get better than this even while only using ANT1 (or ANT3) of the 4 antenna ports on my white T-Mobile hotspot box (G4AR?). I'm even using LMR400 (not RG58) coax due to the terrible signal attenuation of RG58 at 6GHz.
I see some folks complaining about ONLY getting 100MB down… Heck, I'd LOVE to see 100MB down. I may have to go back to ATT 4G and live with the 100GB cap if I can't get this figured out. I'd also love to catch the same tech that ChefZiggy mentioned in his post.
