Data Speed
+5
Hello
Data speeds can be affected by many factors including terrain, weather, foliage, buildings, signal strength, high-usage periods, customer equipment and other factors. If you're still experiencing issues please reach out to our support teams via phone, chat, or social media.
Thanks!
As the moderator noted, there are a lot of factors that can weaken or block your phone's signal. If it happens on a regular basis, there's a strong chance you're in a weak signal area due to your proximity from the nearest cell tower. You could also have a permanent object/device interfering with the signal too. Cell signals are radio waves and these can be affected by things as mundane as high winds. First thing you should do is measure your signal (do it using this method as signal bars are inefficient indicators of signal strength). If you're consistently experiencing weak signals, you have options.
What options are there besides dropping cricket as provider? My speed hascreduced to a crawl eveywhere I go. Since cricket uses other providers ‘ towers and systems are there other options? Cricket has no customer service apparently either
Hi
I know all the excuses but at the beginning of my cricket user time I t was very fast and now is even slower than it was when i first wrote this a few days ago. Are they tuning down the tower anntennae in order to save money? Are they eliminating towers? Is cricket not allowed to rent high speed access on ATT and verizon towers? Is competition getting in the way of quality of service? Is there a good way to check actual speeds before the service is non existent?
I have had the same issues!! Let me know what I find out please and thank u! 🤗
