Even changing telephone service providers at work a few years ago was a very unpleasant experience.
Very coolMy wife and I cut the cord 11/5/2019 when we sold everything and went to full-time RV. The first 8 months or so we had no TV or antenna for TV, we only had our cellphones and their data plans. We used the cell hotspot for our internet connection. During this time we only had one cell phone provider so sometimes we were at the mercy of coverage for that plan. Five months ago we bought a different rig and it had a TV with a antenna for broadcast TV. Now we use that and rescan when we change areas. Our cell phones are still our primary source for data and streaming. Although to help with coverage I just changed over to ATT and the wife has Verizon. I gives us a little better coverage. She also bought an iPad with cell capabilities.
So with this we have the TV for local and national news and the cell packages for streaming. We also can connect the iPad and iPhone to the TV through HDMI for a larger viewing form factor. It works. Is it great? Well it depends if you want to sit around all day looking at screens or go ride, hike, or see things we have not seen before. It is a choice.
We are retired so we don't need internet to support ourselves.

I am once again compelled to tell a story. Back in '99 when Voni was riding her 73,660 miles in 6 months in the MOA mileage contest she was on a two week ride about. One night I got home from work after an evening meeting and when I turned on the TV all I saw was a bright white dot in the middle of the screen. When I talked to her on the phone I told her I thought we would need a new TV and told her about the little bright white dot. She laughed at me. Yes, she actually laughed when she told me it had been like that for six weeks.
So when we moved to Texas a few years later giving up satellite TV was actually not that hard at all.
... which helps to reinforce my lack of feeling great about any of the providers...
So something is wrong.
Tech supposed to come Monday to run some tests!
Could just be a difference in the hardware capabilities of the two devices. Have you compared the specs of the wireless adapters in each to see what their ratings are?
On cell phones, a little trick i picked up. When you get a new phone pay it off except 24 cents. Then for 24 months pay 1 cent per month and they still have to honor your full warrant.
It worked for the last four phones purchases I did.
It lowers your monthly cell phone bill.
Trying to sort through this now as well.
We have a bundled service Cable TV with every package known to woman, Landline and 100 MBPS Internet access.
Three TV with Tivo boxes, Three computers, Three Kindles, Three Smartphones, One Thermostat and one Google thing that listens to what I say all the time.
Internet speed on my Laptop about 10 feet from the router typically runs about

But sitting in the same place accessing the same router on my phone I get

I'd love to disconnect the Landline, eliminate Cable and go to Net-based service for TV/Video, etc, trying to convince SWMBO and Adult Daughter that it is a good idea. They TIVO a lot of stuff, the simplicity of that may overrule my preferences, and the Adult Daughter is paying the bill!
