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.
The N41 band, especially when dealing with the router transmitter "upload" side of things does not have the range of the N71 band. So, if you are reasonably far away from the tower, you may find that if you are on the N41 band, you may be getting really fast downloads, but not so great uploads. The N71 band may actually be quite a bit faster than the N41 band for uploads in that case. As an example, I am 5.5 miles from my tower (but I do have line-of-sight to it), and the N41 uploads never get much faster than 40-50 mbps, even though I can see 500+ downloads. The N71 band, however, routinely gets 60-75 mbps uploads, even though downloads almost never exceed 100 mbps.
