Re: Horrendous Download vs. Awesome Upload Speeds

She said that when throttling is invoked, the speeds can go "crazy" hence the high upload speeds and the abysmally slow throttled download speeds. Does the new uncapped account cost more? Or is it simply a change on TMO's side?Re: Horrendous Download vs. Awesome Upload Speeds

Be sure to confirm you are seeing both the 5G secondary signal and the 4G LTE primary signal when the downloads are so poor.With the n71 or n41 neither should be established to deliver such poor performance figures. It is possiblethat the QoS is not properly configured OR they have overloaded the cells on the tower. Someone needs to evaluate the frequency and how the cell is configured for delivery. I suppose the distance of the user's gateways from the source may also be a factor. Be sure you have a clear idea of what tower/cell is delivering the 5G signal and how far you are from the tower. Every user's situation is a little different so external factors have to be considered. I am not trying to make excuses for T-Mobile's delivery in the area where you are. It is just a fact of cellular delivery that there are multiple factors to consider with cellular delivery and successful delivery over an area may be challenging due to external factors. It may be T-Mobileintends to improvecoverage with more cell coverage but T-Mobile should be up front about intentions and why the current behavior is taking place in that area. If T-Mobile cannot deliver on their expectations for download speeds between 33-182 Mbps then they are failing in that area and need to correct it. I consistently get 5 bars of5G all day long. I only get the n71 band, but from about 9am through midnight, I get single digit download speeds and this IS on 5G. I've had work tickets opened and the cell techs say there is nothing wrong with the tower and it is functioning as expected. Hard to get them to fix something that they "believe" is working correctly.Re: Great signal until.....
Same exact situation here in the panhandle of Florida. At first TMHI told me they were actively upgrading the tower in my area. After 3 weeks, they said all work was done and not to expect any improvements. Sadly, itis still just as bad. Latency is between 70-80ms and download speeds are in the teens, sometimes single digits. All of which is not good enough to stream live tv.Re: Adding Router to Arkadyan
I use a TP-Link Deco M5 mesh system. Just plug one (of 3) of the routers directly to the TMHI gateway via Ethernet cable and follow the instructions in the Deco app for easy installation. Then just plug the other 2 into an outlet and they'll sync up to the main router. Place them aroundthe house as needed. Works great for me. Everything will then use the Deco Wi-Fi.
