I took was experiencing this. It was laughably bad. I then disabled 5G and all my issues disappeared. 4G is plenty fast enough and in my area has far better coverage. I truly don’t see the point of 5G and the toll it takes on my battery.

5G is slower than 4G 9 times out of 10 for me. I don’t understand wtf AT&T is doing.

Strange, I can get over 100 Mbps down from them

Just tried now, albeit low signal and I got 19 on LTE and 20 on 5G.

I guess it’s heavily dependent on location

For sure, and every network upgrade has been like this in the beginning, but this time it’s been a long time and 5G just isn’t better in anyway. On my personal phone it would cost me $40 more to upgrade the family plan to 5G so there’s no point.
