Currently there is no 5G in my immediate area. I was playing around with the 5G Auto / On / LTE setting in Cellular data options and noticed when on LTE download speeds on SpeedTest are faster than using 5G Auto. Download speeds range from 20-50 MBp/s better.

I have tried this from multiple locations in / out of my house. Same result. I did notice that Jitter is always lower when on LTE setting.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is this normal / is my modem broken in my phone or a software bug? I am on AT&T with their Unlimited Elite plan.

Networks are mysterious. So much depends on more than just your device. I wouldn't worry about it.
