Anyone finding this FORCED SHIFT to 4G and 5G, SHUTTING DOWN 3G, results in worse coverage and signal ?
5G maybe a step forward in the inner city, BUT 3G is, now was, better in rural areas. I have worse calls, dropping calls, gibberish audio being forced off 3G.
There is no shortage of lack of coverage out West in fly-over country.

5G makes it worse.

Absolutely. My flip Motorola v60s from 2002 was much better than the current smart phones. It had a much stronger signal, and the replaceable battery lasted forever. I still have it as a memento. It looked excellent.
