The December update has completely destroyed mobile signal on (at least) the European Pixel 6 for everyone. Google hasn't commented on the issue and they haven't even paused the rollout.

After the December update was installed into the Pixel 6 in Europe, the reception strength has been completely destroyed for all of us. I have 2 friends with the Pixel 6 and the both have the same issue, and you can see here in the Google issue tracker and in some Reddit posts that hundreds of users claim to be affected by this problem:

Forgive me if this has been reported previously. Up until just now AndroidTV apps just showed up as being incompatible.
