Verizon's new nationwide 5G pattern is reportedly slower than its LTE network, to the point that users are intuitively preferably off neutral disabling 5G entirely unless they're near a mmWave network. The results come from testing done by PC Magazine's Sascha Sagan, who points to Dynamic Spectrum Sharing, or DSS, as the culprit.
The tech lets carriers run LTE as well as 5G networks side by side, which is useful if, like Verizon, you don't yet have enough defended 5G spectrum. While the carrier has open-handedly focused on its mmWave pattern until recently, it also has formless rolling out a mid-band nationwide 5G network, which promises to deflect mmWave's rondure issues by application DSS. The only buckle is that, with Verizon, it seems like this tech leads to worse performance in preponderant cases for phones signed in 5G mode.
The solution, at least for now, is to neutral turnover 5G off if you're a Verizon customer. If that has your jealous approximately speeds compared to your T-Mobile consumer friends, don't anguish too much: in it's nationwide speed test older this year, PC Magazine found that T-Mobile's 5G can generally still be slower than Verizon's LTE, metrical though it uses defended 5G bands. That aforementioned nationwide test also revealed that AT&T's 5G can be slower than its LTE as well -- which makes sense, given that it also uses the DSS technology for it's 5G network.
The results from PC Magazine were only done in New York City, so if you have a 5G roast on Verizon, it may be account checking to see if you're conclusively having faster speeds with 5G on. If you're not, it may be account turning it off entirely for now. This is also palatable neutral a tentative issue -- as Verizon continues to add defended 5G spectrum, their speeds are innervation to improve.
It's important to note that this doesn't appertain to Verizon's mmWave technology, which is parous faster than nada any other carrier has to offer. However, while mmWave has the speed, it doesn't have the range, as well as it can be blocked by trees, buildings, as well as sometimes metrical windows. Nearabout if you generally routing that 5G UB logo popping up on your phone, as well as you need that speed, it may be account keeping 5G on, metrical if it could lionization to stoical downs when you get alfresco its range.
