Poor data reliability in Burns Lake

CoolBeans55

I noticed when in areas like Burns Lake, I have a 5G connection, but the data streaming in very sporadic.  It seems sometimes I can load things quickly, and the next time it just times out.  All this while having a full 5G connection.

 

I was told that data in areas up north actually take a series of microwave towers to Prince George to get to the internet.  If this is the case, I have a feeling that the microwave tower system isn't working correctly.  It seems like everyone in the area complains of the same random data outages a couple times per day.

 

Any insight into this?

If you switch off 5G and try LTE instead, do you have the same issues?

It may be that your proximity to the 5G towers is not optimal for sustained throughput... Can you try what Nighthawk suggested and test?
