Anyone get somewhat erratic 5g UWB speeds on Verizon at the same 5g site?

Not necessarily on the same day but also.mostly sitting in my car one window down and a tree in the way. That's when I got 3000+ dl but when i got out of my car and walked.much closer to the site speeds slowed down

Yeah, everyone. LOL. There are literally dozens of videos and articles about 5G speeds being up and down. A lot that show 4G devices with faster speeds. I haven't gotten my Verizon 5G update yet but on this LTE+ I keep connecting to my device is slower and less reliable then any device I've ever owned. Even my Droid Incredible was faster and more reliable. I'm hearing a lot of stories about 5G being the same way. I'm not even sure who to blame, Verizon, Samsung or the tech itself. There's a couple of threads floating around here with people posting their speeds and several of them show a similar pattern, fast today, slow tomorrow.

I've been following this thread but if you want to just skim through it to see the speeds... https://forums.androidcentral.com/s...d-5g-just-got-turned-today-4.html#post6891675

But my speeds happen on the same day and almost same time.

Have you ever ran the test back to back and gotten the same exact readings? It doesn't quite work that way. I want to say even on 4G but I can say from personal experience any time I've run tests like this regardless of the type of network, I've seen big swings. I'd say any swing, big or small, is more related to an ever working network.

Your car comparison might have worked a little like a Faraday cage or antenna extension boosting or focusing the signal around you in some way and cutting back on interference. While 5G has already been deemed worse behind brick and mortar walls, metal may have a different effect. I'm just basing this on the evidence you've provided and not because I know anything. Guess the test would have been to run the test 3, 4 or more times in the car, looking at the variance, then comparing the same number of tests outside of the car. Then comparing the average that way.

I'll do some speed tests back to back like you said and see what I get. Thanks. Not that it's of any use in this test but I got these speeds while stopped at a red light and the site was across the street. They lit up 5g uwb in the neighboring city so ill also be doing more tests there since I frequent it alot already.
