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.

T-Mobile 5G: What RootMetrics found RootMetrics ran its tests in the largest 125 cities in the U.S., and found that T-Mobile had the fastest 5G download speeds in 48 markets, compared to three for Verizon and zero for AT&T.
Read moreWhy 4G is faster than 5G?
Avg. But 5G is getting a strong foothold in many American cities, and speeds range from slightly faster than 4G LTE to exponentially faster by a wide margin. You can get faster speeds on 5G because 5G networks use higher-frequency radio bands to deliver signals .

But 5G is getting a strong foothold in many American cities, and speeds range from slightly faster than 4G LTE to exponentially faster by a wide margin . You can get faster speeds on 5G because 5G networks use higher-frequency radio bands to deliver signals.
Read moreWhy is 5GE slower than 4G LTE?
It is their LTE network, one in the same. It is not slower. It is their LTE network, one in the same. 5GE means 5G evolution, which is just lingo for AT&T doing incremental updates to equipment to eventually support 5G .
Read moreIs Verizon 5G slower than 4G?
Median download speeds were essentially the same, but still 1% slower on Verizon 5G connections than 4G . Verizon 5G users saw lower latency, with Tutela reporting a 6% improvement over 4G.
Read moreWhy would 5G be slow?
Some of the problems involve network infrastructure: The availability of space in the portion of the airwaves that strikes a balance between fast transmission speeds and long signal ranges is limited. 5G also requires deployment of new network equipment , a sometimes cumbersome process.
