I heard T-Mobile has the 5G turned off for NOK 5G21.  So it should not connect to a 5G band.  Hopefully they get the 5G network working and turned on soon. 

The 5G has been turned on from the very start. Anyone saying its turned off just doesn't know what they are talking about. Now if 5G is enabled in your area is a different story. But Tmobile already has a massive 5g footprint and that combined with the Sprint footprint its a huge area of the US that is covered in some form of 5G.

Now its worth mentioning there are many different layers of 5G. You have a layer of 5G that was more made for distance by losing some speed (10+ miles easily). You have a layer that is the short range super speed 5G (just a few miles). Then you have the step up from 4G LTE 5G that provides a 2x to 3x speed boost with medium range in there.

I live out in the middle of nowhere rural america where we have a population of like 50 people out where. The entire area is bathed in tmobile 5G n71 signal. Easily 50+ mbps. 

The nokia (grey trashcan) modem will pickup b2 (4g) for upload and secondary up n71 (5g) for the download side of things. This makes for good download speeds that the b2 just can't offer on its on in our area.
