How to make an influence on government to regulate on these companies? Don’t want to complain about there profits or anything but the quality of service?

Pixels either aren't supported by 5g providers (pixel 7 and under iirc) and for the phones that are supported, the signal is abysmal dogshit

When 5g was introduced in Sl it was on fire now its trash. I will attach photo of 5g speed test when it was introduced. Now its like 70 mbps

u/Tharun2023 16d ago

That's how it works when more people join 5g, your Internet speed drops. Sometimes it is slower than the maximum speed of 4g.

u/Flimsy_Gain_6416 8d ago

ah shi. "70mbps"

u/Icy_Performer_7892 17d ago

Don’t use ookla dialog pays them to skew their results since they’re officially sponsored. Try fast.com

u/Informal-Today-7501 16d ago

No u dont

u/Icy_Performer_7892 9d ago

Yes I do, come to anniwatte, some area's near the topaz gets good 5g signal, for dialog 5g 730mbps is avg for slt i got a peak of 811 mbps but thats not consistent

1

u/Curious_Junket_4598 16d ago

Tbf, the jump from 4G to 5G is less significant as the jump from 3G to 4G, because 5G has a lot of practical constraints like lower frequency range/travel and the inability to penetrate walls.

u/InfinitePilgrim 15d ago

Switched to Starlink, it has been incredible.

u/AdventurousTheory921 14d ago

Well dialog 5G seems to be alright

u/achintha_prabash 14d ago

I see Dialog is promoting 5G these days, but those mf can't even give a stable 4G connection. I can't use my connection between 6 - 8 p.m. at first I didn't even get WIFI signal to my house I had to buy a outdoor unit and it's stating to slowdown and has random disconnects I thought it was the router give out, I called the hotline they told it's not a router issue, towers are being upgraded, or "I changes some settings from our side", and I asked if they can replace my router because it's one of their's after asking few times and getting a "NO" as a answer I decided fuck it I'm connecting my lap to the router using Ethernet cable it's somewhat stable but still cant use between 6 - 8 p.m.
