5g is so slow its unusable but I cant turn it off

Where I live we were one of the earlier places to adopt 5g.

Over the last few months it's got slower and slower until it reality it's unusable. I really want to go back to 4g but I can't as my phone is pretty much stock android and the SIM configuration wont allow me to do this.

I now cant use data in the bottom half of my own garden. I've spoke with Motorola who make my handset and EE and they can suggest nothing. I went to Manchester at the weekend and 5g was great but moving there seems a little bit radical just to have data on my phone. I've tried the settings buried in the SIM but configuring from here is hard too. 

So a) is the slowing down of 5g happening to others

and b) any ideas to go back to 4g without the obvious getting another handset (it may come to this or another provider)
