For reference, it takes about 30 seconds to load weather .com, and I am unable to load some emails to my personal yahoo account (that do not have attachments). File upload / download from work over VPN is virtually unusable for anything over 10Kb or else it will time out

Can you use your hotspot on your phone to work?

This actually works better than my 500mbs internet speed I pay $45 a month for

T-mobile has a 5g service you can use. See if it's available in your area

You should probably move.
