5G in France
How can I get consistant 5G while traveling in France when available. Usually if I am watching YouTube for a long time the phone drops to 4G and then to 2G. I want a consistant 5G (where available)....
Try buying a French eSIM for data (e.g. SFR or Orange). You'll need an unlocked phone. The problem is that your T-Mobile data has to tunnel back to T-Mobile's servers in the USA before getting to the Internet. This connection can't be guaranteed. A local eSIM's data hits the Internet in France. Also, T-Mobile's data throttles video data streams.
