pack our plans with value and build out the industry’s best 5G network
I’ve generally needed to disable 5G on their network because it was slower than LTE. 5G has only been useful in places they didn’t have coverage before in my experience
Same. I have 5G off because it’s just so bloody slow and unreliable.
Let’s not even talk about the problems where periodically I can’t make any outbound calls and no one can call me. Which has been a problem for at least the last 5 years, for both me and my wife.

Isn’t that usually what happens though?
5G is the new best thing, people jump on 5G, 5G gets overloaded decreasing its speeds while 4G gets unloaded increasing its speeds.
Same thing it was with 4G, which is why I kept using 3G until start of 2024 when it got shut down here.
5G has been reliable and fast for me for years now. It’s significantly faster than LTE, approximately 650-750 Mbps on download.
I tested where I happen to be, and T-mobile 5G was 7 Mbps and LTE was 34 Mbps
I’m not saying 5G can’t be better, but it’s rarely been better on T-mobile for me in about 5 different states in the US
Wow. 5G is consistently over 500 Mbps for me, and frequently upwards of 700Mbps with 50-100Mbps upload.
The issue is that “5G” is three different bands in one name
In the places where it’s low-band 5G and LTE is also available, LTE is significantly faster
If you’re in the downtown of a major city, high-band “mmWave” 5G will be faster
