T-Mobile 5G Speed Test Results

[10mm]

Indeed I have service mode on my Note 20 5G. This is the combo running on that tower. Note n71 is 15 MHz. They've moved all 600 MHz over to NR on all the sites I've checked in my area. It used to be 10 with 5 MHz on LTE.

iPhone.

Yes I've looked at the field tests though the format is a lot different on my iPhone 12 Pro Max than my old iPhone 8 Plus.

iPhone 12 Pro Max does not show that info yet in Field Test Mode.

The current beta release has 5G connection information, so should be out in the next major release.

I saw that on Reddit however it doesn’t show what NR bands you’re connected to or CA combos. Perhaps the full 14.3 update will have it

I found some 5G coverage nearby my home but these are the nearest big intersections, on the other side of a big high-rise office building.

So the speeds were okay as high as 156/28. But I did get over 294/37.5 on another big intersection a few days ago yet that showed LTE.

So maybe T-Mobile is rebranding LTE towers to show as 5G.


In my own home, it seems the speeds are worse and signal strength is actually worse than my iPhone 8 Plus. Don't get 5G lit up but if I walk say 30 yards around some buildings and more towards one of these big intersections, then I get 5G lit up but still speeds well under 100 Mbps, if not under 60 Mbps.

This is in Santa Clara valley.

You can get 300Mbps on LTE. B2/B4/B12(or B71). You'll know that you're truly on 5g NSA if you're also getting +60Mbps upload.

Found a couple of new n41 sites in Sterling Heights around 14 mile/Mound and on Ryan between 14 and 15. Not real impressed with the 4x n41 sites I've found so far so I'm thinking they need backhaul upgrades. This was the fastest I could get....

Vs an n71 site at M53 and 29 mile(rural).

I'll be curious to see what I get in San Simeon in a couple weeks. Last summer with B4 20x20 + B71 10x10, I was lucky to get 500kbps, in a town that has 400 residents, while about 5 miles away in a town of 6,000 on B4 20x20 only... I was hitting around 140Mbps.

No screen shots or tech data here, just regular user observations.

I picked up a Samsung S20 5g FE this weekend. I live in rural Richmond County GA and work in Burke County. This area is a T-Mobile backwater. We just got band 12 last year, and I did not expect 5g for a long time, we never had 3g here, they skipped from EDGE to LTE.

After getting the phone working I was shocked to get 5g in Augusta and Waynesboro. I ran speed tests in Waynesboro and got 150 down and 40 up. I never got much more than 40 down on LTE in Waynesboro before.

T-Mobile is truly full speed ahead on 5g.

New n41 upgrade in La Crosse, WI. Old AWS/PCS panel was replaced about a week or two ago for the new massive MIMO unit.

Tested some n71-SA tonight. Near Pinconning, MI on I-75.

New n71 update to an existing site. Since I have a device with SA and NSA, it stayed on SA n71. LTE was good as well.

Excellent. Range is pretty good on SA and speeds are great!

New n41 site across from micro center in Parkville. Verizon has mmw on a macro basically right next to T-Mobile’s lol.
Highest test was 728 down, lowest was 217. All outside with very little obstructions besides a few tree branches.
