Very poor signal strength in Sutton Coldfield area the past 7 days. EE did say work being done at a local EE 5G mast, but 5 days later the signal is still very poor or non existant inside my own home. It has never been very good in this area but now even worse. Hope it's temporary!
Hi my mobile is switched off every night so is restarted every morning. I have restarted several times during the day, or switched on Airplane mode then off again. No change. This has been going on now for a week. My original comment of weeks ago was why is BT/EE 5G so slow in comparison to within Europe!? While in Europe I had speeds of 250mbps in Germany and Switzerland and above even in Croatia! 450mbps in Basle Switzerland. UK serious lagging behind despite what BT boast about.
All EE network sites carry multiple radio technologies, and all 5G sites rely on co-located 4G. So your "5G mast" will also carry 2G & 4G as a minimum.
Use the status checker as already mentioned, for further checks.
Hi thanks for that. I appreciate that any EE mast will likely also have 3,4 & 5g capability to cover every user's needs. But that still doesn't offer any reason why UK 5G is half the speed that's available across the channel! The signal here at B75 is still very poor in comparison to November and wonder if it's related to the cold weather? Best wishes J
Cold weather would not directly impact data speeds, a signal indicator that appears poorer can often give better performance if it means higher-band carriers are in use.
A comparison between UK & foreign MNO performance would be very complex.
