5G Service

Hi,

Is there a way to see where an EE mast is? Or when there maybe one installed near by?

I live in a village with no broadband so rely on mobile broadband.

Oddly my mobile every now and then has connected to 5G and then changes back to 4G.

Any help/advice would be appreciated, as the coverage could do with improving

I’ve done that already. It doesn’t show upcoming or in progress work.

Tech-adds & capacity-adds are an ongoing process. 4G sites have additional 4G capacity added, 5G carriers are added, all very much BAU.

If you use the "my places" function on the coverage webtool, you can register upto 5 UK postcodes for proactive updates on planned & unplanned outages.

Officially no, networks don't normally display base station maps but you can use apps like cellmapper to check for local base stations and more details on them.
