S21 Ultra and diminishing coverage issues?

[mustang7757]

I have been having issues as well. Something has been going on for the majority of the year. I am not a fan of the supposed benefits of 5G as they are being rolled out with Verizon. This is around the metro DC area. Good thing I mostly use wifi........

Yeah your WiFi pretty good, can you change your network to 4g in settings?

I would, but if you look down the image, "LTE" wasn't any better at 30.

Again, you'd expect better performance in DC and the burbs from big RED.

As to the wifi, that is in my basement at the farthest point. My speeds closer to the router are closer to 1gig. I was just monitoring performance at the worst location in the house while I was tweaking the antenna aiming.

Would that I could..... civil servant discount only good where I'm at. Also, big red is the only one that actually reaches my house in the event that wifi goes out (I live an hour from downtown.... but the speed tests were performed at work..... in the supposed good areas)

Wi Fi screams at least while it's up though.

Not sure if you're in VA or DC as you said you're about an hour from DC. But that is fast. Wife and I moved from NOVA out to the Shenandoah Valley and the best we can see from a line of sight system is 100mb/s. They say with improvements coming in we should see up to 250 mb/s. We shall see. Out here in the country our options are severely limited.

Home speeds (wifi) is southern maryland. 5G speeds were on the edge of DC inside the beltway. Supposedly, that's 5G ultra wide area that's supposed to be super fast.
