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 Your router could be outdated or it could be too far away from your TV or computer , for example.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

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.

If the operator decides to refarm LTE for NR (5G), then the LTE network will get slower . If heavy data users upgrade to NR-capable handsets and shift their data traffic to the 5G NR network, then the LTE network will get faster.7 Mar 2019
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 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 .
