I’ve noticed this problem for the last few years, but it’s getting worse and worse. I’ll have full or nearly full bars, but I can’t load anything that requires data. I travel the country full time, and it doesn’t matter where I am, if I’m in a big city, small town, or deep in the countryside. My phone acts like it has no service even when it says it does. My wife’s phone has the same problem. We both got new phones and have the same problems on our new phones. It’s so bad, I’ve wondered at times if Google was down, but every site has the same problems. Ever since they rolled out 5G, nothing works as good as it used to.

For reference, I have AT&T. It didn’t used to be like this. I used to have great service everywhere I went as long as it showed that I had signal. Now it’ll show that I have signal but nothing loads, or it loads very very slow.
