Coverage Checker not accurate, infact a bit of a lie!?

[Yehya]

It’s happening with me everyday in zone 1 areas in London, and when I go to network checker it says that the 5g signal is good. It’s even hard to use google maps or social media. So bad

What is the issue you're having?

The coverage checker is a data model and does not factor in terrain or buildings so in a city like London it would be wrong. Try OpenSignal app as it uses real data submitted by users

All radio networks use similar modelling, and terrain is a factor.

There are a couple of notable crowd-sourced coverage tools, OpenSignal is one.
