Some Verizon 5G/4G users facing issues with wireless network, Verizon responded!

According to the latest report published by EJL Wireless Research has several issues with Verizon’s 5G Ultra-Wideband (UWB) network. The research firm conducted the analysis in two California cities, San Diego and Chula Vista.

This report is based on an independent field study conducted by EJL Wireless Research. The team estimated download and upload speeds at 74 5G UWB small cell sites in two California cities. The researchers conducted the test using a 5G mmWave compatible smartphone.

It is found that even the smallest movement reduced the 5G UWB network to the carrier’s 5G nationwide network. This happens even if the device is pointed directly to the cell site. Furthermore, the researchers noted that many areas that promote Verizon 5G UWB are not connected to the network.

“Our research and analysis indicate that most Verizon mobile customers will end up falling back on the 4G LTE or 5G Nationwide networks, and any claim that 5G UWB is reliably available would be misleading. It can be difficult for the public to unpack the technical fine print.”

Importantly, the study found that 5G UWB could not be reconnected automatically after being downgraded or losing connectivity. By comparison, 5G nationwide and 4G LTE networks only see a decrease in signal strength when devices are away from a small cell site.

The report states that Verizon’s denial that 4G LTE will serve as an alternative to the carrier’s 5G UWB home service. This is despite the significant difference between the download/upload speeds of 5G UWB Home and 4G LTE.

It is clear that Verizon has a lot to do with its high-speed 5G network. These two California cities are part of the carrier’s 5G UWB network. But the report on Verizon’s 5G network performance in everyday situations gives us a very good idea.

The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed a lawsuit against tech giant Apple, accusing the company of maintaining an illegal monopoly in the smartphone market. The DOJ accuses Apple of violating the Sherman Antitrust Act.

The suit claims Apple has restricted third-party app growth, limited cloud and game-streaming services, forced continued iPhone purchases for messaging, diminished non-Apple smartwatch functionality, and prevented third-party digital wallet use.

In a press conference, US Attorney General Merrick Garland highlighted issues such as the App Store’s fee system, degraded third-party accessory experiences, and relies heavily on Messages. The case, backed by 16 state Attorneys General, could have significant implications for Apple’s business practices and the broader tech industry.

The US DOJ said in a release about the suit:

Apple exercises its monopoly power to extract more money from consumers, developers, content creators, artists, publishers, small businesses, and merchants, among others.”

Apple also responded by defending its innovation and user-focused approach, warning that the lawsuit could hinder its ability to deliver the seamless technology integration users expect. Check the entire response of Apple below.

At Apple, we innovate every day to make technology people love — designing products that work seamlessly together, protect people’s privacy and security, and create a magical experience for our users. This lawsuit threatens who we are and the principles that set Apple products apart in fiercely competitive markets.

If successful, it would hinder our ability to create the kind of technology people expect from Apple — where hardware, software, and services intersect. It would also set a dangerous precedent, empowering the government to take a heavy hand in designing people’s technology. We believe this lawsuit is wrong on the facts and the law, and we will vigorously defend against it.”
