  "account": "Some Pixel 11 owners are experiencing connectivity problems, including unreliable 5G/mobile data, Wi-Fi dropouts, and Bluetooth issues, while others report their devices functioning perfectly. It is too early to attribute the issues to the new MediaTek modem in the Pixel 11 series, as various factors such as carriers, network conditions, routers, firmware, and individual hardware could be contributing. The move from Samsung Exynos to MediaTek modems on the Pixel 11 series was expected to resolve long-standing connectivity and battery drain problems. However, just weeks after the Pixel 11 series hit the market, some users are reporting familiar connectivity issues. Redditors have shared their experiences of a 5G icon without internet access, Wi-Fi connectivity failures, Wi-Fi performance drops, and difficulty maintaining a cellular connection.",
