Hi Farshaddarvidh,
Have you actually looked at the 5G coverage map on Rogers? yes they have 5G but just because they have it does not mean its broadcast everywhere
have a look at toronto for example, the 5g coverage map looks like Swiss cheese so its possible your in a city where no 5g exists or if you are in a big city that has 5g, you may be in a part of the city that has not had 5g deployed to your area yet. hope this helps.

oh and by the way, rogers should NOT be blaming samsung, if the rep was good at their job, they should have checked the coverage map on their system and check your home location to tell you if your area is 5g or not, a lazy agent would probably just want to get you off the phone and blame it on the mfgr. hope this helps
radio signals do not always follow geographic boundaries. so definately you may get 5g in some parts of your neighbourhood and 4g in others. its just like how some radio stations come in clear in one part of your home and staticy in another part.
Hey @Farshaddarvidh,
There's definitely quite a bit of interest surrounding the rollout of 5G service! I'd just like to help clarify a few things. 😊
What is 5G? As they evolve, 5G networks will allow us to stream, download and upload massive amounts of data at unprecedented speeds. And with the capacity to link together billions of devices, 5G will connect us not only with our loved ones but to our homes, machines, cars, businesses, and communities in ways we can only imagine! Today, 5G speeds are comparable to our fastest 4G LTE experience and will continue to get faster over time.
At present, 5G access is included with Rogers Infinite plans at no extra charge until March 2021. 5G access should be available to those who: have a 5G phone, a Rogers Infinite plan, and are in an area with 5G coverage.
If you meet the above-noted requirements and are still unable to connect to the 5G network, this could be because:
- Your device is connecting to an HSPA+ or 4G LTE network, as that network’s signal is stronger
- You’re in an Extended Coverage area
- You’re roaming outside of Canada
- You’re using a Samsung 5G device from another wireless provider. NOTE: If the device was activated by Fido, Chatr, or Tbaytel please contact Rogers Technical Support. If another Canadian telecom operator activated the phone you will need to contact Samsung directly.

Hey @cg21!
I think it's pretty reasonable to think that if your phone, plan and sim card are all 5G capable that you'd be able to connect for sure. I'm sorry to hear you're having issues with that. I am glad to hear though that this has been escalated. Regarding your concern that it may be a phone specific issue, have you spoken to Samsung support regarding this matter? If that's the case they may be able to speak to your experience and offer some insight.
Keep us posted for sure.
what is the actual model number of your device? it usually starts with SM-xxxx
samsung makes different models for different parts of the world and the different frequencies they use, in order for the best coverage you should buy the one with the correct frequencies for north america / canada
