Hi @GreaseMonkey

You've already got a great modem. Your issue sounds like network coverage.

Is your core usage when you're out in the van or when at home/both?

Thanks

I'm having a really odd coverage issue out and about.

If my signal drops to 2 bars or -110db data becomes unavailable

Download still works ok, the issues is upload is 0.11 mbs or lower whitch
means the software can't function

With that when making calls I can hear people perfectly clear but they
can't hear me. (Have the same issue with 2 different phone brands that I
own)

EE are slaying there is no network issues or service issues. But something
has changed for things to get this bad, Like I said it used to be fantastic
not had a real issues in 10 plus years of using EE but now it's at the
point over the last 8 months to a year it's just got gradually worse and
worse to the point it's not usable.

And the times I have a good enough signal for everything to work is getting
less and less frequent

I've had replacement sim cards new phone new 4G card in my laptop there all
still getting the same issue

There does seam to be 2 antenna ports on the modem do you know of any good
antennas that may make things better for me

Thanks Lee
