Not sure if many people are using 5G in Christchurch, but just wondering if anyone else is seeing any odd issues with it? 

 

I've had problems with calls dropping/Data sessions dropping and the phone switching from 5G to 4G - At one point data stopped working together for over an hour and the phone just sat switching between 5G and 4G every 10 seconds. Can raise a ticket through the helpdesk, but the issue isn't consistent enough for me to give proper examples. 

 

 

@taneb1 Are you using a 5G approved handset purchased from SparkNZ?

Yes, iPhone 12 Pro purchased from Spark directly (Using Spark retail, not a MVNO) - Have the phone configured for 5G On rather than 5G auto so it doesn't switch 5G off when not using data intensive things.
