Is AT&T your carrier? If yes, AT&T calls 5GE an enhanced 4G LTE Service. That in itself isn't bad and usually just means you're not in a location where a true 5G connection is available.
What do you have your phone set for in Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data Options? The best option to use is 5G auto and your phone will use the strongest cellular band available in your location.
