I'm in an area that should be blanketed in 5G UW according to Verizon, just outside of Nashville TN. However when I'm at home I get less than 5mbps on speed tests, and sometimes less than 1 mbps. this is outside, inside, doesn't matter.
It won't even connect to the 5G UW network in most places in my city even if I am actively using an application that uses a lot of data like Apple Music, Youtube, or a speed test.
I'm using an iPhone 14 Pro with the latest software update, 5G set to auto most of the time with it set to 5G on when I was most frustrated with the network coverage being a complete joke.
Verizon needs to put their money where their mouth is, because this service is a joke right now.
