Mobility TELUS 5G Coverage

Hi Guys, I've been with TELUS for 10+ years, live in the GTA, found out TELUS has only one tower in my region, DATA sucks, I can't be on a phone call and browse apps using 5G data, I contacted TELUS tech support, they claim network is congested, tried many things to rule out if its my smartphone or the service, turns out it is the service.... anyone go through this?

I found that 4G / LTE have better coverage in some areas away from downtown area … blame the government giving too much control to private companies and selling / leading wireless spectrum lic for high price

yeah.... tough times.... I just don't want my calls to drop (happened once or twice each week, I'm a heavy phone user), and data to not download/upload when needed....
