This is the mast I connect to, erected during 2022, I have achieved speeds of 1100Mbps close to this site. Cellmapper has it down as eNB ID 50939, however Cellmapper shows it about a mile from where it actually is. eNB ID 50939 has just been upgraded which is much closer; will have to slightly adjust the AP to benefit from this.

That's a Phase7 or Phase 8 mast, either Three or one of the other networks. Over 1 Gigabit is impressive and probably means you were the only user on it at the time.

Cellmapper needs people with Android phones running the software to come at the mast from various directions, and it will update.

Correction

above should have stated 'eNB ID 5291 has just been upgraded'

Customers in your region typically see download speeds of 50-200 Mbps. No contracts, 30-day trial.
Shipping times are currently estimated to be 1-2 weeks.

£75/mo for service and £460 for hardware.

Bloody hell - way too expensive! I get 575Meg down for just £12 a month on smarty.

Yeah, well it isn't aimed at people who already have access to a half gig connection !

Our only options are:

- sub 20mb FTTC (though out neighbours say it is now down to 11mb and we couldn't have it now anyway as the cabinet is full)
- 40mb Three or Smarty (but in practice during the evening streaming peak it is more like 5mb)
- 80mb EE (but also in practice it doesn't work reliably for 4K HDR streaming during the evening)

Apart from paying £30k for FTTP, Starlink is our only option for a high speed Internet connection that works in the evening.

I'm in a major built up area, and I get 30 Mbps on Smarty. No new Phase7/Phase8 mast from Three anywhere near.

You can't assume the country is the same Max.

Yep, 5G is awful around here, more awful than normal as we don't have a lot of masts. Another one that Three wanted to put up on an estate have been refused permission. 17 metres tall. Why that tall considering that it will be in one of the highest parts of the city? Anyway, it has been refused, so that is three so far in the last few months.

I did wonder if they deployed some huwaei here which they have since had to remove, but no idea, as I only started checking the coverage when I started using my 5G phone.

On Smarty, which is part of the Three network, and you are likely quite close to a Phase7/8 monopole. Three has 100 MHz of spectrum at 3 GHz frequency, so will get the best speeds, if you are close, and the signal can get into your home.

This is an example:

Nice, not that I see any point in that speed on mobile phones. i hope you are not planning to play any online games on your mobile network.

I bet we would not get anything near that here with 5G.
