After my wife and I switched our phone service from Spectrum to Visible, we've noticed a strange issue with our GPS speeds. It seems like our speeds are about 15% faster than what we're actually going, and our locations appear significantly ahead of where we really are. We're located in Raleigh, NC, and it's been inconsistent. This problem happens across various apps, like Google Maps and Waze, and affects both of our phones while we're driving. Sometimes it occurs in the same spot on the highway, while other times it shows the correct info. I've got screenshots that illustrate this issue, where it shows me going around 80 mph in one and then it's accurate in another. Any ideas what could be going on?

For iOS devices, GPS works with satellites and WiFi signals, and the carrier shouldn't affect this either. Try rebooting your devices; sometimes that simple fix can work wonders for GPS-related glitches.
GPS relies on satellites, not cell signals, so changing carriers shouldn't affect it. However, if you're using something like Android Auto, that might impact GPS accuracy if your car is handling the location. Have you tested the GPS when your phone isn't connected to the car? That could help pinpoint the issue.
