    Been having mobile internet issues the past couple days that require frequent reboots of devices to get pages to load. Just noticed that the phone is now showing 5G e. I’m on AT&T. Anyone else seeing this? It sucks balls!

    Probably unrelated. The "5Ge" thing is just a marketing deception by AT&T: "5G Evolution" is their new, misleading name for what they used to call 4G LTE. Nothing in your phone (except that 5Ge logo) has actually changed as a result of the rename; it's still connecting to the same network, at the same speeds as before.

    But watch your bill go up.
