I regularly see it in Atlanta in the big tech business areas (Buckhead, Midtown, etc) but it is hilariously bad.

Whenever I notice my cellular data has regressed to 3G speeds and reliability, I look up at the network status and see “5G UW”.

I don’t know if they deployed it without enough bandwidth on the trunk to handle all of the users or something else but I generally have to toggle airplane mode to drop back into 5G or LTE to get off of it.

Ditto, I’ve disabled 5G entirely because it performs worse in high density areas compared to LTE.
