    Is you 5G connection faster than 4G anyways? In my country you don’t really get above 150Mb/s either way

      Significantly actually. In fact my home internet is also Verizon 5G, and I usually get about 300 down and 20 up. LTE is unusable at this point in my experience, which is weird to me, because it used to be the hotness.

    This is more likely a coverage issue than Walmart illegally blocking wireless signals (per to FCC regulations).

    Report the coverage issue to Verizon and your local Walmart. Both of which will want to increase coverage of where people are gathering. This is because if bad coverage areas are in places where people gather this will cause affected people to switch services or stop going to those gathering areas if there’s alternatives.

      OP might be inside a Walmart when they took the screenshot. Walmart either uses building materials that impede the signal or actively block it. I also can never get full 5G inside a Walmart, and sometimes I wonder if they are doing it on purpose to encourage using their local wifi. The only other time being inside a building messes with my phone is at the hospital, and I know they have a ton of equipment that could be responsible for that.
