Reply to comment by Shame_On_Matt in New report reveals that New York has the 3rd best mobile network speed and coverage in the nation in study comparing download/upload speeds, latency, and total coverage area across 100 US cities by LithiumLawson

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.

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.
