One reason your Verizon service might be slow is that you have 5G turned on , which can slow the speed of mobile data (due to limited coverage). Furthermore, Verizon uses dynamic spectrum sharing, known as DSS, for 5G. Also, DSS reuses part of the 4G network, so it’s not full-blown 5G and can slow down your device!
Read moreHow fast in Mbps should 5G be?
The latest Opensignal data finds that 5G download speeds from the three big U.S. operators are in the 47 Mbps to 58 Mbps range, not coming close yet to the goal for 5G downlink speeds of 100 Mbps.
Read moreWhat are 5G Speeds supposed to be?
5G can be significantly faster than 4G, delivering up to 20 Gigabits-per-second (Gbps) peak data rates and 100+ Megabits-per-second (Mbps) average data rates . 5G has more capacity than 4G.
Read moreWhat should 5G download speed be?
A speed of three gigabits per second was measured. Under ideal conditions, the 5G speed should in future reach up to 10 Gbit/s , the equivalent of a 20-fold increase. Just how fast 10 Gbit/s really is can be demonstrated by a simple example.
Read moreWhy is Verizon 5G running slow?
Unfortunately, while the 5G side of DSS is legitimate 5G, of a sort, its actual performance is, in Verizon’s own words, “comparable to [its] award-winning 4G LTE.” This is due to a combination of factors, including congestion, the limitations of older hardware, and the same reliance on low-band frequencies .
Read moreIs C-band faster?
C-Band delivers fast speeds but with a wider reach than millimeter wave-based 5G, which is what Verizon and AT&T used for their initial super-fast coverage.
Read moreWhy is 5guw so slow?
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.
