Yesterday once again No Signal .
Niw only ONE BAR despite EE showing alls well .

It’s NOT well I’m afraid and 4GEE is very weak .
It’s just getting Worse since BT have taken over EE. Do they really know what they are doing in the digital world???

@drover1825 You need to report it to EE as a problem incase something is wrong at your particular mast area. If they don't know then they cannot fix. HTH

In very simple terms, "one bar" is still a bar.

The status checker is the ideal first-line check - https://ee.co.uk/help/mobile-coverage-checker and choose "check status"

@Mdotdorothy So it should be, 4G/5G signals are nearly always better outside off the home!

Quality of radio signal is not dictated by the RAT ("G" in common parlance) though...

I'm more amused by the latest post being a reply to a thread from July 2024....
