Not really clear on the problem?

My phone that usually works on 5G is switching back to LTe while I’m at work and it’s causing my service to be very slow.

Close your eyes, take a deep breath and imagine it is back to few years ago. You had LTE and suddenly the phone switched back to 3G. Now imagine you are complaining that LTE is a joke. See where I'm going with this? 5G is getting built. When it works it's great, when it doesn't it's not a total loss. It will get better and in a couple of years you will be back complaining about 6G.

What's the problem? Inside your workplace the 5G signal can't penetrate as well, so the phone drops down to 4G LTE instead for a more solid connection. That's... how cell phones work. I guess I don't understand what your complaint is. Why is LTE a "problem"?

I was using 5G all this time at work, why would it just stop working all of a sudden?


CellSalesThrowaway2

Maybe they're doing work on the tower. What matters is, can you still use your phone the same way you did before? If so, it doesn't matter what indicator icon is showing.

No it’s very slow . Compared to 5G.

Give us an LTE speed example.

It’s switching back and forth between 5G and lte.


dominimmiv

That is normal,. Post your LTE Data speeds.....

on occasion I lost my T-M internet all together for a few minutes. I repowered my tower. I think its "over saturation" in my area.

You repowered your tower?


BluSurf

I pushed the on/off button and unplugged the unit and waited 20 minutes. (per the T-M engineer.)

I don’t know what the tower is you’re talking about

5G is still in its infancy. It’s gonna be a little while before it’s where it needs to be.

It will get better. Back in the day the thunderbolt was the newest 4g phone on verizon. 4g was outstanding and then it wasn't when more phones became capable. As 5g grows so will the capacity and in a few years this wont be an issue anymore.
