If you have a Verizon Android phone, it may not allow you to turn off 5G. An alternate fix may be available if you check under Settings > Connections > Mobile Network > Network Mode. Hopefully, you will find an option to go to LTE/CDMA rather than 5G/LTE/CDMA. If it is there, choose it.

A Verizon spokesperson confirmed, “For most customers, performance on our 5G nationwide network will be similar to 4G. [DSS] is new technology and we’re continuing to modify it as we go. We expect performance improvement through 2021 and beyond.” 

Verizon 5G is getting faster all the time. The only question is when it will become faster in all areas than 4G.
