Not the GP, but I think the point is that he can’t get LTE at all in the desert 10+ miles outside of Ely, NV, because there are no cell towers within range. He doesn’t get 5G speeds there, but he does get LTE speeds on the 5G bands because the range is so much better. Full disclosure: I am a 5G doubter, so this is interesting to me, and I am by no means a 5G expert, so I could be totally wrong about this.


Yea, I don’t get it. I have no problem streaming 1080p movies over LTE well over 10 miles from the tower in the desert…


On what carrier and with what device?


AT&T, original iPhone SE
