Why does 5G not work on Google Fi? - Apple Community
Pixel 7 Pro, Google Fi, Turn off 5g
Reddit ruins formatting (so you might be confused trying the codes in the other responses), so go into phone dialer and type star pound star pound 4636 pound star pound star. If you did it right, the phone will instantly load a menu called Testing. Select Phone Information. Go to Set Preferred Network Type. Note that "NR" is 5G. Choose an option without NR. If you're like me, on Fi, the right option is LTE/CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA

What does those things not working have to do with Google Fi? It sounds like a configuration issue of some kind. Did you try them over WiFi? Did you update the software?

So there's no fallback to 4G if 5G isn't available?

Yes, if you have an iPhone 12 or newer. You may need to change a few settings for full support.
What networks does Google Fi use for coverage?

I have 5G home internet with T-Mobile. Before I switched to Fi, I still had T-Mobile prepaid too and speed on TMo prepaid aligns with home internet pretty much. Wasn’t too shabby in rural Idaho but Fi is exceptional. I know they use the same service but I constantly get better 5g speed on Fi.
For some reason it shows T-Mobile as a provider but it’s Fi. TMo gets about down 250-300 up 25-40
Overall, very happy. Used Fi customer service chat few times too, no hiccups (what everyone was concerned about)
