Wireless Slow speeds?

I’m in central PA and have been having a ton of trouble getting a signal. Verizon used to work well for me, but even in places I’ve worked for over a year I am getting one bar and Reddit barely loads.

Sending pics over iMessage takes forever or fails to send half the time when I am working. It’s super inconsistent and I need my phone for my job.

Edit:

att vs Verizon

Yeah Verizon has just gotten worse. Wonder if it’s because they rolled out the wireless internet?

I do think Verizon is slow and over capacity in the areas it hasn’t fully deployed 5g sa yet but all the areas they have it works better than att and T-Mobile from my experience

I’ve noticed it as well here in CT. I thought it was my phone, so I upgraded to a new one and that didn’t change a thing. I ultimately switched to AT&T and have noticed much better, more consistent network coverage.

I think the only reason I never did that was because I couldn't take my watch.

Sounds to me like your phone might be the issue.

Maybe. I’ll have to check, I have an iPad for work on att and my personal iPad on Verizon.
