    @Rikus86, if your metrics are inline, then I would call customer support. It may be a regional issue or TM is working on a tower in your area. If you call, let us know what they say.

@CheOne, slow speeds can be caused by various factors. I suggest starting with the device RSRP, RSRQ, and SINR, as well as metrics. Please provide which band is displayed (usually n41 or n71). 

My 5G are:

RSRQ -11

RSRP -74

SINR 40 

Band n41

The [positioning of your TM gateway is very important to signal strength and download/upload speeds. You can view your device metrics on your T-Mobile Internet app (or T-life app) and go to More > Advanced metrics. 

Let us know what you find.
