Slow internet speeds can be caused by a number of things. Your router could be outdated or it could be too far away from your TV or computer , for example. Those fixes may be as easy as restarting your modem and router or upgrading to a mesh network. But another reason for your slow Wi-Fi could be bandwidth throttling.
Read moreWhy is my 5G connection so 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.7 Şub 2022

Read moreIs T-Mobile 5G getting faster?
T-Mobile’s average 5G download speeds across the eight cities clocked in at 261 Mbps – more than 2x faster than Verizon 5G and nearly 4x faster than AT&T 5G in those cities . Testers were able to get a 5G signal on T-Mobile 96% of the time, versus just 88% of the time with AT&T and a sad 59% of the time with Verizon 5G.
Read moreIs 5G actually slower than 4G?
5G technology is able to deliver faster speeds by combining larger blocks of spectrum than previous 4G technology , but the challenge has been finding larger blocks of contiguous spectrum available. The United States has focused on high-band spectrum, despite the signals not reaching much of the country.
Read moreWhy 5G isn’t just faster 4G?
Low-band 5G operates on some of the same frequencies as 4G, delivering slightly faster speeds—think 50–60 Mbps—over long distances . It will work best in rural areas where people are more spread out and you can provide service with a handful of cellular towers.11 Kas 2021
Read moreWhy LTE is faster than 5G?
These higher speeds are generally achieved because 5G users a different spectrum to that 4G uses, namely mmWave high-frequency bands, which support far more bandwidth than those LTE uses . Therefore, more data can be transferred at once.
