Hi Linzi,
It's been like this for a couple years. It could be relative from how far away i am/obstructions in the way from the eNB that covers my sector. But depending where you are coverage does get better. Such as going up near the Tesco's. But that's covered by a different eNB i believe.
eNB in question is Macro site 21273. Cell 12 which covers my area of Calne. Wiltshire.
Checking basic data from the UE (UE in question is a Samsung S24 Ultra). connecting on to PLMN 23430 (EE). RSRP -122 on band 20.
eNB in question has a max signal strength of -73 dBm (RSRP) and i'm about 1.7 miles away from the site. It's possible there's another site that radiating over my sector. But no cell site identifier is provided in service mode of the UE (Unless i use a external 3rd party client). -100/-110 is classed as poor signal. -73 would be great signal. But if i'm getting -122 dBm. Then that's very edge of cell or poor signal strength in general. Which is displayed in how much the UE connects and disconnects constantly.
On my work issued UE which is a BT contract (Samsung S10 5G) seeing RSRP -113 on Band 20. Looks to possibly be the same eNB.
Both UE's show poor quality signal strength which again anything past really -100/-110 is classed as poor quality. ideal is -73.
in both cases when UE does drop from the network. Would expect a fallback on to 2G (As 3G is now removed). However there is no 2G signal. UE shows no network connection to latch to.
Cheers,
Dan C.
