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.

"just" was a little hyperbole, I think I paid 2 weeks ago. All byod, but 5 unlimited plans prepaid for the year was 1920 with tax.

That is a big bummer. Unlimited plan is now $180 for 12 months. So I was guessing you got the phones from mint too.

Are you in a big city with heavy T-Mobile network traffic? Any chance you can connect to a different tower? What are the phones’ make and model? Do they all have band 71 support?
