For those who aren't aware, as part of the massive marketing/manipulation campaign revolving around the abysmal "5G" network (often slower than 3G even in NYC), Verizon has gone out of their way to disable every 5G phone's built-in ability to select the preferred network. This functionality has existed on every phone for as long as I can remember.
Meaning, when you have a perfect and super fast signal on 4G LTE, Verizon will still force you to use their worthless 5G !#$^ that takes 60 seconds to load a basic web page, because they are really intent on shoving this abject garbage down everyone's throat in any way possible.
Verizon - there is no acceptable reason to block people from choosing which network works best for them. If this is not ameliorated I intend to cancel my service after being loyal to Verizon for the better part of 20 years. I encourage everyone else having these issues with 5G to do the same. This is absolutely unacceptable for all the money we're charged -- in fact, it's MALICE.
5G being !#%@, OK, but blocking me from using the network that actually works? This needs escalation to whichever morons were responsible for this decision.
