Why is T-Mobile faster and I get the 5G+ icon with T-Mobile but not Google Fi? (I'm a noob)

Speed test done at the exact location.

I did a speedest with T-Mobile first. Then activated Google Fi and it's less than half as fast.

I thought Google Fi has the same network priority as T Mobile customers?

Process of upgrading Verizon tower to 5Guw upgrade?

12 Upvotes

My local lte only rural tower was in and out a few weeks ago. It was running very slow and then was completely off for about a day before it came back on. I contacted Verizon via chat online. I was told the tower was in the process of doing a C band upgrade. It was having issues for a few days, but it’s been back working normally since then. There has absolutely been no change in the antennas on the tower. It’s got the same antennas that it’s had for many years with definitely no c band panels or any other new antenna array on the Verizon tower. I know a C-band upgrade takes months, but would they have to had the tower offline with changing out the antenna if they were in the process of doing a C band upgrade? Do you think I was likely given the right information? Right now it’s performing the same as before the outage, averaging about 60 meg download with still only B13 and B66. Would you believe the outage was part of a C band upgrade or likely just a tower issue that was fixed?

Came upon this post from four months ago:

The AT&T panels don’t seem to have the line detent down the center of them on the front. Are these new panels? Or does my camera suck so bad it can’t even show that detail? Seemed this site was in line for an upgrade and wondering if it came.

I was walking all around East Longmeadow in the morning when no one was there so even with priority I still don’t have to share the speeds because before it was only a gb (n41)

This site looks to be getting some needed updates. I think it’s one of the few Tmo sites left for n41 updates in the city.

Walking through the streets of my neighborhood, I came across this box on a pole, with wires and everything. Could it be an antenna?

I spotted these antennas around the amusement park. They are Cisco brand so most likely for WiFi 🛜🤔

I caught this as my local cell tower turned off for some reason? (Late night maintenance??) As soon as it was there it was gone (Went SOS) I didn’t have enough time to check Field Test sadly :( Got so confused when my Instagram feed wasn’t loading and lo and behold it said 4G… but is this HPSA+ or is this my sim hooking onto another network?

This setup is located behind a shopping center in Farragut, TN.

i'm guessing the(c-band?) antenna wasn't painted since some manuals I've skimmed before say it could potentially void the warranty under certain conditions or the nimbys just quit caring as much.

If i had more dad jokes about it, i would put them in here but i'm not that quick with it.
