Like last month I noticed I only get LTE, even though my plan is 5g. Few months ago everywhere I went it would be 5g, but now only LTE

Any explanation for this other than 5G or rural? Or is that it? There’s none in the article.

In OZ, signal is very good, with black spots all over the country, but these have been there since CDMA was abandoned.

Oh please, telecoms being greedy is universal. This also isn’t as much of a self-deprecatory comment as you think it is. Oh, my poor country is so full of phones and tablets we can’t keep up :(

To be honest I haven’t experienced this at all. It’s only gotten slowly better every year since I got my first phone over 20 years ago.

AT&T has been great for me (in Jonesboro, AR). They’ve a decent low-band 5G network and are rolling out their midband network, whereas Verizon is still all congested LTE here. T-Mobile is hit and miss, great speeds, but so-so coverage.
