Unlocked S9 on Verizon

[Art Ramirez]

Does anyone have any issues with an unlocked S9 on Verizon? Mine was working great but for the last several days my mobile download speeds will not go above 2mbps. I ran a speed test on my brothers pixel right next to my S9 and his downloads ranged anywhere from 28 to 55mbps. What gives? Verizon support says nothing looks out of the ordinary on their end. I'm not near the monthly throttle limit. I've already done a factory reset and tried my brothers SIM and speeds are still very low. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

No issues here just outside Richmond, Va. on unlocked. Just ran SpeedTest and it was pretty normal. 45 down, 5 up. I did have a blip a couple of weeks ago that was similar to what you described. A lot of times it can be tower maintenance where they pull radio(s) down for repair or replacement and leave a minimum of service available. Sounds like you talked to VZ and they didn't indicate as such, so not much help here. Hopefully just returns to normal...

It has been slowly improving since I posted. Maybe it was just network issues.

Mine felt like it had poor signal more frequently than my other devices but overall it was good to go.
