[question] [bug] Are other people getting network issues when interacting with raid battles?

I tried to do a couple raids today, one gym i couldn't even get into because of an error and my game would crash, the other I tried do do twice and about half way through the raid battle i would get a network error... but I was on 4 bars of 4glte. and the boss would stop attacking, i could finish but it wouldn't count it. I have wasted so much time today trying to do raids. I was wondering if this was a widespread issue. From memes it seems like it, but i don't understand how these issues are so common to the point i cant even do 1 raid. I've just recently got back into the game and I really want to like it and i want to do raids but i literally just cant. and with legendaries around the corner this is very disheartening. Does anyone know of any sort of fix/trick?
