Strange thing is I get 5G and 5G UW on my Verizon MVNO iPhone 13 Pro and my wife's 13 Mini despite what their website says. Download speeds often EXCEED 400-500Mbps but average around 200-300Mbps.
My feeling is they just don't have enough bandwidth available in The Villages as they have (from what I could find) only 1 tower so the reason might be more due to lack of bandwidth that has to be shared with the dozens of Verizon MVNO's out there besides their own.
Sitting on the couch in my living room as you can see I am getting over 400Mbps 5G using USMobile (a Verizon MVNO) so they have plenty of signal, it's just their infrastructure can't handle the volume of users banging away on their data constantly (streaming etc) unlike cell phones which are mostly intermittent use of data. Sadly Tje Villages generally won't allow towers on their property (I guess unless they make a huge donation to the Dev because there is ONE on BV).
