slow streming
I only stream to watch tv (Netflix, appleTV, HBOmax etc.). Will my internet slow once I stream so much?
Your experience with the content delivery could be dependent upon the level of the service your plan is and load upon the uplink equipment. Also the quality of the cellular signals will be a factor. If your gateway receives at least 3-4 bars and the signals are clean service delivery should be good. There are some locations where users seem to experience delivery problems but not all users have service problems. Only time will tell if you are fortunate to be in a good place for service. If the cell tower equipment and upstream routers are all provisioned to carry the subscriber load it could be just fine. If there are periods of the day/night when bandwidth is more limited just keep in mind you can plan ahead and download some content during off peak hours for offline viewing.

The Apple phones don't allow the network scanners access so that is why I suggested Field Test Mode. I know CellMapper.net has an application that runs on Android. It is commonly used to find the cellular tower information and also with an account on cellmapper.net data from the findings can be uploaded to the database. That should provide metrics, assuming you have a 5G cell phone. If you only use a 4G LTE cell phone then it would only help for 4G information.
My phone is only 4G. My next one will be 5G. I'm waiting for a good sale price. :)
