don’t know about Verizon, but AT&T delivers two levels of 5G service, depending which part of their network you are on. older parts of the network, that is to say the vast majority of the existing AT&T network, has what AT&T call 5G, which is actually incapable of coming anywhere close to what even AT&T itself promises for 5G. what AT&T call 5G is barely better than 4G LTE. However some newer parts of AT&T network provides what AT&T call 5G+. 5G+ actually comes close to delivering what AT&T promised for 5G.
I think the reason is AT&T degraded their initial 5G performance so they can cover the largest area with “5G” service with the fewest towers. the degradation was required to maintain service reliability with a sparse network of towers. Now they got a lot of area on this half asses 5G service, they are beginning to densify parts their network so they can offer a let duplicitous version of 5G service.
maybe Verizon is doing something similar?
