No service in Scotiabank Arena while on 5G?

Hi all,

I've noticed this the two times that I've been in Scotiabank Arena since switching back to PM from Koodo on the  Boxing Day sale, but when I've been in the arena connected to PM on 5G, there is pretty much no data movement despite showing full bars of connection.  If I manually force my phone (Galaxy Fold 5) down into LTE, everything works great.  Once I leave the arena and reenable 5G everything works great again.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Is there a way we can report coverage issues?

@flipflash77 - Whenever I go to an arena (Scotiabank Saddledome, Rogers Place) it always goes down to LTE, even if the cell tower is on TOP of the arena. It doesn't make a difference between LTE and 5G / 5G+.

@flipflash77  5G has a harder time penetrating walls . When indoors in a big complex 4G/LTE will typical get better signal. This will often happen to me when in Costco for example . But you should still see good data speeds on LTE
