If you live next to a 5g tower you’re living large. There’s one down the block from me maybe 30 meters away and I’m getting 500 down and 100 up consistently.
Meanwhile spectrum has a whole fucking cable plugged into my apartment and I’m lucky if I get these same speeds.

I had to disable 5G on my phone because it was so bad anywhere I went. No joke my phone is better with 4G LTE.

I’ve experienced this as well. I seem to walk into 5G dead zones once per day.

Yeah if it ever says 5G UW you are basically fucked in my experience. Same location I turn off 5G and LTE comes in and it’s fast again.

iPhone 13?

Yup. 13 Mini.

I think that might actually be a phone issue. Reports are that the iPhone 14 has fixed this issue for people.

Cool. Well they don’t make a 14 mini, so I guess I’m stuck. It’s fine though, literally 4G is plenty for my needs.

I'm considering buying a backup iphone 13 mini for when my current iphone 13 mini dies. I don't want a big phone, the mini is the perfect size for me. Very disappointed they scrapped the mini. I have the Samsung flip also thinking it'd be a nice small phone to have, but it's actually a lot bigger with a case on it. And annoying to use.

Yup same here, it was getting ridiculous.

Doesn't living next to a 5G tower guarantee that your frog children will want to eat 2nd amendment freedom and mate with socialist canaries? Not on my water tower no way buble'.

TMobile charges extra for that

Does Verizon let me pay extra so that my owl farm doesn't get stale?
