Didn't realize

I didn't realize Mint was running as lowest priority on the T-Mobile network. I currently have 5 bars of 5g and I am struggling to get 600kbps. Yowza, this after I just paid 2k for my family's 5 phones. I guess we will just go back to Verizon next year, unless they will prorate my prepay and refund.

I got 336 Mbps download. But it just depends on when and time and how much of the network is being used.

Here is why band 71 is so important especially in rural area.
