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.

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 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.

5G phones can’t handle that yet, PCMag analyst Sascha Segan wrote: But 5G phones can’t add as many 4G channels to a 5G channel . So if they’re in 5G mode, they’re giving up 4G channels so they can use that extremely narrow, often 5MHz 5G channel, and the result is slower performance: faux G.
Read moreWhy is Verizon so slow with 5G?
The reason for this is because Verizon uses a shortcut to achieving 5G coverage , known as dynamic spectrum sharing, or DSS. [DSS 5G] reuses parts of 4G channels for 5G. … Our most recent tests, using an iPhone 12 Pro in New York City, show that DSS 5G is frequently slower than 4G, and rarely faster.23 Ara 2020

5G Ultra Wideband is the next stage in building a better network. 5G runs on a much higher frequency than 4G , which provides users with a much larger bandwidth. That means in a world where everyone is using data with unlimited plans, Verizon can support their users without any of them losing service.
