5G iPhone upgrade

It appears I have made an expensive mistake upgrading to a 5G phone that only gets 2 bars. I thought 5G would be faster with constant 5G connection keeping a 5-bar connection. 

Appears I have been fooled.

    5G is location dependant. I had a 5G phone when it first came out but went back to my old phone

    I just upgraded my phone to a Pixel 6 with 5G and the speeds are much better.

    You can try going into your settings , network/internet, settings and preferred network type and change to LTE.
