Re: Good signal/bars but no network connection many times daily
Cali Cat wrote: It looks like most of the folks havingthis issue (phone and/or home internet) are describing when the cell towers are overloaded with more connections then it can manage. The symptoms are: Strong signal but low or no data Strong signal but dropped calls Restarting your device gives you a brief moment when data works again only to lose it. This is caused by your restart putting your device back to top of the data queue momentarily. I experience this a lot in both dense cities and remote areas. A good example is a vacation spot. Go during the week and no problems. Go during the weekends and your same phone from the same spot gets little to no data even though the signal strengths is the same as the week. Unfortunately, the "fix" is for TMO to upgrade such towers and they are. However, they can only upgrade so many on a given day and nobody can tell you when your area will be upgraded. TMO want's to add more capacity so they can bring in more customers. I'm sure the TMO exec is accurately aware that continued overloading will drive customers to other carriers. First explanation I have received that makes some sense to me. They grew too fast.1Ver0likes0ComentariosRe: Good signal/bars but no network connection many times daily
I am having the same issue in SD. All members of my family have an iPhone 12 and all of us show 4 bars on the 5G network but we constantly are loosing connections with Apple Music, Maps, Podcasts, texting, to name just a few. I have been sent new SIM cards from T-Mobile that were suppose to fix the issue and it did nothing. I have tried switching to LTE but we have the same issue with LTE. I am not even getting 1.0 Mbps upload speeds. I wanted to love T-Mobile because the monthly charges were so much lower but I am going to beforced to switch back to Verizon because our phones are not even usable with T-Mobile. Unfortunately, all phones are locked until we pay out our obligation, which makes no sense since two of the phones were suppose to be free. If T-Mobile cannot fulfil their obligation to provide service why am I obligated to payout my contract? Frustrate in SD where the map shows 5G Ultra in the urban area I live in, but extremely slow speeds.1Ver0likes0Comentarios
