T-Mobile customers are the most likely to get 5G on their new Galaxy S20 phones - but there's a catch [telecom]

Antonio Villas-Boas, Business Insider US

I was able to connect to T-Mobile's long-range 5G network on a small, windy country road, where AT&T and Verizon's 5G networks are nowhere to be found.

[Reasons]:

  • T-Mobile customers will have a greater chance of connecting to a 5G network with the new Galaxy S20 phones than AT&T and Verizon customers.

  • That's because T-Mobile has a long range 5G network compared to AT&T's and Verizon's 5G short-range networks.

  • But the trade-off with longer range 5G networks like T-Mobile's is slower 5G speeds. So while a T-Mobile customer may get 5G where AT&T or Verizon customers don't, they're not getting the blistering speeds that you may have heard about with 5G.
