Re: 5G Home Internet nightly slow down
Thanks so much for the reply. There is no freeway nearby and the city has maybe 16,000 people in it. Download speeds range from 300 to under 5 and upload from about 20 to 4. The patterns of slowdown don't correspond to rush hour but instead seem to relate to peak TV times. They were especially bad during the evening when the Olympics were on and caused the TV stream to buffer and sputter repeatedly. I have used the location functoin in the app to find a better spot, although there is no ideal place on the 3rd floor of this townhouse because the only windows are on the opposite side of the nearest tower. All that said, this has worked exceptionally for 10 of the 11 months I have used it, rarely going below 100 mbps which is adequate for us. Then the bottom started dropping out at night. As for the metrics, they are as follows: Received signal strngth indicator, LTE: Good, Reference signal received quality: 5G and LTE, good. Reference signal received power: 5G and LTE both poor. Signal interference to noise ratio: 5G: Excellent, LTE: Poor. Band: 5G: n41, LTE: b66, Cell Global Identity: LTE: 31026068876035. Channel Quality Indication: LTE: 4 None of this makes any sense to me. Hope it does to you. Thanks again.78Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: 5G Home Internet nightly slow down
Exact same issue here. I have respectable speeds during the day and most week nights. But during peak hours on weekends, my speeds plummtfrom 200-300 MBPS to anywhere between 5 and 12. I have tried rebooting the router without success. During the Olympics they were even worse. Any suggestion that router placement is the issue cannot account for the fact that the speed is great except duirng times of peak demand. It is hard to escape the conclusion that the system simply cannot handle the traffic. The TVs start to buffer rendering the service next to useless. I am hard-pressed to think that there is any alternative other than pony up the extra money for a hard-wired service. I like TMobile and go all the way back to the VoiceStream days. But this is my second rodeo with the wireless service, the first being a disaster, and my patience is wearing thin. Has this service just been oversold?72Visto0likes0Comentarios
