Anecdotal but have definitely noticed this in Atlanta

Also anecdotal. I moved to Austin from another state and it was just awful out here. I visited my parents back home for Thanksgiving, and it was way worse than I remember. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

Same in my part of the PNW and I hate it! Totally wondered if I was just imagining it!

I know it doesn't represent the entire region, but I was in Downtown staying at a hotel that didn't offer free wi-fi (Courtland Grand Hotel) and I only pay $25/month for Visible, which uses the Verizon Network, but I had 5 bars of 5G and 100mbit/sec download which is kind of what Visible limits you to, even on 5G, but it was a great experience overall when I was only staying in Atlanta for one night and didn't feel like paying for wi-fi.

Weird. T-Mobile in Atlanta here: it used to suck but now is insanely good.
