My ATT simply works wherever I am and no one will be able to tell me how I will be better off having a 5G phone at this time there is no use for it at this time and will not be for the next 5 years.
My personal experience with AT&T's 4g LTE service is that the performance/throughput drops precipitously at lower signal strengths. I need two bars or better to get any kind of reasonable performance. 1 bar? Forget any Internet use. VoLTE calls? Forget it. This is what I consider unreliable. I have an old 3g flip phone that I have to use at my country house if I want to make any calls.
I can agree with you, we all know, with any cell service, it is possible you might be one of the unlucky ones where coverage, no matter what cell company, is not ideal.
That happens to all carriers. I am an expert on this subject, as I connected alarm systems to cell service providers for close to the last 8 years and have extensive experience with ATT and Verizon, which depending on the area one might be better then the other.
Another problem sometimes is people blame the carrier but its also possible its the phone itself.
Blows my mind that people get google phones, but that is another subject. A lot of people could care less about privacy anymore, never thought I would see the day, but people will feel their privacy to the best buyer AKA Google.
Privacy-in today's world you have none-unless you go out of your way to prevent it. Don't use a VPN (I don't), drive a late model car with a "black box" I do. Use a disguise so the prevalent ring doorbells on every house in my neighborhood, in addition to all the security cameras in just about every establishment you patronage,-don't know who I am-I don't. NOW-how about the Insurance companies (you do have insurance-don't you?) that sell your information, or how about the credit card companies and Equifax selling your buying history?
Dude....a google phone doesn't provide any info that I haven't listed above.
As an "expert" you should know this.
BTW-as someone who has traveled EXTENSIVELY around this beautiful country of ours-Verizon has the best coverage-no one else compares.
