5G home internet speed after 15-day trial.
For the first two weeks of having 5G Home Internet I was getting download speeds from 250-400 Mbps down and 20-25 Mbps upload. I know they only advertise 35-115 Mbps download on their website. Has an...
If you have only been able to get up to 180 MBs download your gateway is probably on the n71 band or maybe at a larger distance from an n41 source but I would bet it is an n71 5G signal. If you have the Arcadyan KVD21 gateway you can use the mobile application to get some information on the cellular metrics to get a better idea of the signal strength and quality. You can use the browser to get more information from the Arcadyan as well.

The metrics might help explain more about the behavior. Also try to locate the tower with the PCI value using cellmapper.net. Knowing how far you are away from the signal source helps set expectations. If you are farther away from the source that will impact the speed and signal integrity.
Another thing it consider is if the T-Mobile engineers are still working on the tower where you are that can be a factor with the unstable signals. They dont do a very good job of letting users know when they are going to work on the equipment in a given area.
