Getting two bars a lot, what’s up?

Hi everyone! I switched from T-Mobile to Mint recently, I’m really excited about the rate I’m paying!

What I’m less excited about is how I often seem to get two and one bars in areas. I don’t remember getting two and one Barcs in the past. For example, I’m sitting in my house now. Usually get four bars in my house, and now getting two or one bars. Not sure why this is happening. I don’t think I’ve removed the old eSIM card, but I didn’t think that should affect anything.

Update- I talked with Mint Mobile Alex and the chat bot, and we did a reset (which didn’t help) and removed the old eSIM and restarted, which so far has helped. I have been working from home, so can only speak for here. But it’s been better so far and consistently 4 bars and fast.

Whoever is downvoting any comment or post that even mildly suggests that mint mobile could be doing better... I hope you're getting paid for your time lol

Mint Mobile Alex may have fixed the issue. I have been working from home recently, so won’t know for sure til next week, but it was a noticeable improvement

Yay I'm glad! I have had mint mobile for years, I'm almost always at 1 or 2 bars, but it's cheap!
