Re: T-mobile 5g home internet forcing to tower with no data issues/changing towers/bands

Don't know what that level is exactly, but home internet packets will get heavily queued when it happens (you can see the jitter factors go through the roof when it kicks in). If itholds them long enough you risk timeouts depending on the application's tolerance for delayed packets. Thus, the <usual> culprit is the congestion level. Not necessarily for the wireless, but it can also be on the back haul as well. A single tower can host multiple bands at the same location, all feeding into the same upstream pipeline. Which can lead to a massive chokepoint under highutilization. As a result, lately TMO seems to be wrangling with a capacity issue more so than coverage. Definitely both. They manage to not only get dead spots in rural/semi-rural ears and major highways, but even in the middle of the city they have random spots with bars but no service. Usually those areas your phone is observably switching between LTE/5G and different frequencies, often without being able to do more than slowly load a webpage. Even urban areas near Bellevue headquarters have issues.4Visto1like0Comentarios
