Buy a used Pixel 4 from Swappa for around $120, trade it in to Google Store and pay $55 to get a Pixel 6a.
Plus, search Pixel superfan referral and you can get $100 store credit.

The issue seems to be widespread -- it's hard to say exactly what percentage of owners are affected, but it appears to be a significant risk. People seem to have narrowed it down to being a hardware problem with the Exynos modem used in the phone. From what I've gathered, the bottom line is that it just has very weak reception, so if the signals in the areas you travel aren't stellar you are likely to face frustration, e.g. constantly switching airplane mode on and off or rebooting to regain a signal.
Still deciding if I want to take the chance on this -- I can trade in my Pixel 5a and upgrade to this for free so it's tempting. Looks like you have 30 days after you receive the phone to send your old phone to Google for the full trade-in value, so if I do get the 6a I plan to test the hell out of the connectivity right away, so if there are any issues I can just return it and forget the whole thing (I assume there are no return shipping fees, can someone verify?)
