I am trying to set up a plan with a smaller carrier, but I have a feeling that since they are not on Google’s allowlist (even though I live in Canada), they will not let me use 5G with them. The Pixel watch supported carrier list also makes no sense, because for some reason the new carriers for the watch 2 don’t support the first version? I was thinking about switching to Samsung, but it seems they also pull off shenanigans in the way of region locking. Why are these practices in place?

    The provider that I use has 5G antennas/towers all over roads, and the capital also has some 5G+ locations. It also annoys me that I seem to need the 5G option to show up or else LTE+ does not work at all.
