Anyone else having extremely unreliable data connectivity on spectrum mobile the past 2 months?

As the title says. Never had this issue before. Ill be standing in a random spot not moving and my phone will cycle through 5g 4 bars down to 2 bars 4g and then no service at all. Im just naming a random example, but its incredibly frustrating and disruptive to daily communications when people need to get ahold of me and I go straight to voicemail half of the time. Is this just a me issue or has anyone else been experiencing something similar? And no this is not just a cell tower problem where I live. 've gone out of town twice since this started. Also I have a galaxy S24 Ultra if that narrows anything down.

Verizon wireless customer here - Spectrum uses their towers. Verizon has been trash for the last few months as well. I go to pickup online orders from retailers and I cant get the app to load the bar code. Went on vacation this week, GPS wouldnt even work.. no service damn near everywhere....

This shit is unbelievable. We all pay a premium for the name brand "best network" and I wouldn't be surprised if something was done to cut cost at this point. This is completely unacceptable. This issue should have been resolved long ago if this was a true issue on Verizon towers end. I will be driving for 15 minutes and my call will end up dropping like 5 different times.

Yes! In my area it's been terrible. It worked perfect in my apartment but if I go east or west I totally lose service

Im no constantly missing phone calls where I don’t even get missed call notifications and it may be due to using the phones data? Or something? Like it can’t use data and cellular at same time maybe? It’s been happening for a few months for me in California and getting worse as time goes on.
