TMobile 5G is all over my area but sometimes it just dosent work no data at all but on speed test it shows fast speeds but nothing.
I‘ve seen Google Maps think its offline for 30 seconds or more when I have a good connection and excellent Speedtest results. I don’t know if the issue is T-Mobile, iOS 15 or Google Maps.
I hate t-mobile. Sorry for my french. I pay tons of money like 3x more than i paid with others, yet i get beautiful 400 mbit numbers in speed test which mean nothing in real world experience. Can’t open websites, gmaps and etc cause i feel limited to 3g speeds. Reminds of a dieselgate with volkswagen, when their cars run efficiently with less pollution when connected to the testing program.
I have the same issue when I’m using T-Mobile (I’m dual sim). I have to turn on the 1.1.1.1 VPN and it fixes it. So my guess is that T-Mobile is having DNS issues.
I do notice the google maps app doing this a lot though on any cellular connection. It makes me want to change to Apple Maps.
After nearly a month of regular use on T-Mobile 5G and/or 5Guc I can tell a noticeable lag trying to surf or initially connecting to the service on my new iPhone 13. I’ve read in another thread this happening to people. I actually think for browsing my iPhone 11 on LTE was faster.
Anyone else?

I see this latency lag too on my 13 mini. The initial connection handshake takes several seconds, once it negotiates the connection it’s fast downloading the data. It’s almost as if the handset and tower are trying to figure out whether they should use 5G or LTE. It definitely makes ad hoc browsing feel slower than older LTE only handsets
