Being out of town from D.C. let me finally try out Verizon's 5G, and the results from near downtown Dallas on an Inseego hotspot were pretty good: 221 Mbps/34.7 Mbps. That's not as fast as T-Mobile 5G, but Vz's previous options were low-band "nationwide" 5G that wasn't much faster than 4G or exceedingly fast but exceedingly unavailable millimeter-wave 5G.

(Verizon) C-Band Site. Visible+ Plan. Multiple tests were inconsistent. Here is the best at the moment.

@thebaldgeek I am betting you got a PLL and it is sensitive to the cold. This has been a problem with these LNB's for a long time, as you can see from this article from 2016:

Are phase-locked loop (PLL) LNB’s a good idea?

(Note the last EDIT down near the bottom of the article).

I don't know how cold it gets where you are but I suspect you are going to have issues during any cold weather event. In theory you could attach some kind of heating element, like a small reptile tank heater (make sure it's waterproof) and turn it on a few minutes before you want to watch TV but IMHO those things are just poorly designed, even if they are being marketed as a solution for 5G interference.

Pulling my hair out of late (wait, Im bald!).
I swapped the on the dish because I was getting, what I suspect is interference for an that has a filter.
Turns out the new LNB is a bit of delicate snowflake and is unhappy outside of a very small temperature range.
I have already done the modification, so its not that.
Long story short, I thought it was a tracking issue for a good while, but now working on getting a stable temperature range for it.

Quick update. Usual insane day here. Working with a guy in Ireland on VDL2 v3 message logging. Then helped a guy in Ireland about L-Band system handshakes.
Got to do a bunch building the -Band , but did not finish as a guy I have been helping in Maine get running on data from needed some help.
Bottom line, close to a world-first here. data from 54w.
We now truly have global coverage from all 4 satellites!

High-end early 80s technology being delivered to our house by my Dad, bought from a friend who was an early satellite equipment dealer. Unscrambled satellite, those were the days and the house overhead with the "dish" in the backyard for scale.
