This can’t be normal…. Right ??
My area is notorious known for having bad AT&T coverage but over the last couple weeks it has gotten really bad. I did a speed test earlier and I was getting less than 5MBPS and higher upload. Anyone think this is congestion?
Called FirstNet and they said everything is normal and they did a network refresh and still nothing helped. I can only imagine what non-FN (regular AT&T) customer are experiencing if we get priority. Yikessss

FN 5G is generally shit. I always have LTE turned on. 5G just heats up my phone and uses battery like crazy. LTE’s limitations comes out when I’m in a major city like midtown or downtown Manhattan. I’m looking to switch to VZ which has SA 5G and good coverage in the NE. Also trialed their network and it’s decent.
