T-Mobile Home Internet Download and Upload speed difference
Is it possible for my download speed to increase with the upload speed decreases when I place the receiver in location A of the home, while the download speed decreases with the upload speed increase...
@Darko66 y @Rogracer2000 I've resolved my issue. After reading about the Bands and Metrics, I did notice that my receiver is showing 4G on the display. I then interrogate the "Advanced Cellular Metrics" section and noticed that my LTE tab is showing I'm on Band 12 (700 MHz) and the 5G tab is showing blanks for all the metrics. I called T-Mobile and they sent a connection reset signal to my receiver. I now have LTE Band 2 (1900 MHz) and I see the 5G on the display with 5G tab showing metrics. The speed is drastically different. I went from 230mbps down with constant 5mbps upload to 400mbps down with constant 120mbps upload.
@Darko66 All of those "Advanced Cellular Metrics" are showing "Excellent" value for my location. I was testing the speed at three different locations in the home before I followed the T-Mobile app suggestion of the best location. The location it provided was also one of the three that I was testing and saw the best download speed. I wasn't particularly interested in the upload speed at the time of testing. However, I did notice that it went upload speed between 6 - 100mbps. I can't remember which location where the upload speed was the best. It's just now that I've done all the tidying at the final location and don't want to have to take the setup apart to test again. The upload speed has been constant 5mbps though. I would prefer it to be at least 10mbps.
