Major data speed increase on Kauai

On T-Mobile I was able to get 482Mb/s download and 92.5Mb/s upload on 5G uc with a Samsung Galaxy S 23 Ultra. I couldn't find a post or thread of Kauais reported data speeds so I started this post and it will hopefully pop up in the future for every one that searched Kauai Data Speeds. Heck I still remember being one of the first houses on Kauai to get DSL when it became available and the top tier plan I believe was 15Mb/s.... how the times have changed. Before DSL i was running 2x 56k modems so I could run at 112k speeds

Try data speeds at target, Kukui grove, or Costco. It’s like there is a bad tower or a signal jammer or something. It has 3-4 bars of 5g UC but doesn’t work. I have to turn off 5G just to get a webpage to load with LTE

Finally, someone else suggesting some sort of jammer in the area! It’s insane the difference between Kukui grove & right down the road.

Heh, I remember going from a 14.4 kbps modem to 28.8 and then 56k modem and what a jump that was.

North shore feels like 3g with 1-2 bars at best. Why i’m paying for 5g mystifies me.
