Why is my 5G slow?

Technically. So, why are some 5G connections so slow? The first, and most impactful, reason is that the far-reaching 5G signals that have powered the vast majority of carrier rollouts in the US – especially from AT&T and, to a lesser extent, T-Mobile – have used low-band carrier frequencies.

Does 5G get more coverage?

Extended Range 5G includes our most powerful low-band 600MHz signal and reaches far and wide for nationwide coverage . These frequencies deliver speeds faster than 4G LTE—over hundreds of square miles—and can pass through buildings to provide better coverage both indoors and out.

Why is 5G high frequency?

To increase the capacity of the mobile networks and support very high data rates, 5G will extend the range of frequencies used for mobile communication . This includes new spectrum below 6 GHz, as well as spectrum in higher frequency bands up to 100 GHz.

Why is 5G low range?

The 5G standard uses millimeter waves, which are a lot shorter than the wavelengths 4G uses . The shorter wavelength means 5G can carry a lot of data much faster than 4G, but it also means a much shorter range. 4G wavelengths have a range of about 10 miles.
