Verizon may have. Actually, they are more than likely the culprits.Suddenly I can't find where I can change the above setting. Did we lose this ability? P6Pro and VZW...
There is a thread about it on the Verizon forum, I posted there also, and so far no one from Verizon has even answered. So my guess is two things: 1) the support reps that we chat with on the phone and live support & website support don't know that the option is even missing. 2) The higher level people at Verizon that made the decision to hide those settings don't care how much we complain.I wonder if Verizon gets enough complaints, maybe they'll add the setting back.
There is a way to change if from the phone app, some advanced menu you can access by dialing a specific code. I think it was mentioned on the Verizon forum. I'll see if I can find the info.I changed it for the same reason. But now if 5G improves, or UWB actually becomes a thing, we can't switch to it...

Yeah that interface is a little scary.Apparently if you dial *#*#4636#*#* from the phone app you can change the preferred network type there. The options for LTE and 5G are not listed that way, but one of the network options correlates to LTE and another correlates to 5G.
Unlocked P6P on Xfinity has the option.
June update. I commented/complained then.If I remember correctly, vzw took away this option a few months ago. I don't believe there was a post on this forum, but I noticed it and someone started a similar thread on the pixel 7 forum. Sad to see the power carriers have...
Thank you so much for posting this! I played around a bit - the interface isn't as bad as I thought. I got my 5G back, and know how to go back to LTE. Very much appreciated!Apparently if you dial *#*#4636#*#* from the phone app you can change the preferred network type there.
