Fix the 5g

I am quite certain this wont reach the right people who can actually do something but where I am... 5g with full bars has been running at lte speeds. 5g uc regardless of how many bars works perfectly but I only get that in certain areas of town. 5G is supposed to be faster than 4G LTE right???? I have home internet AND a cell phone as well both behave the same and no when testing the phone is NOT on wifi. Considering two different devices both on the same tower experience the same speed issue I think we would all agree the issue is with either the tower or other area of infrastructure. Again, full signal. All 5 bars. Especially frustrating with the internet... We got satellite but can't maintain 5g speeds? Maybe the focus is on the wrong things at the moment? In either case if anyone should happen to see this for the love of god and all that is holy please send this to whoever can do some maintenance... tower is on the olivet nazarene college campus in bourbonnais... I'm sure a quick google search will provide directions to it. Kids are on break right now, so can't say its congestion.. they aren't even there.

    5G UC doesn't imply it is fast.  Here, 5G UC is on band 71, which definitely isn't fast.  Whether I am uaing a s23 Ultra, Pixel 9 Pro XL, or Moto RAZR Ultra, the speeds are consistely not great but the call reliability inside is solid.
