Hi all - I'm after a bit of advice if possible.
I'm currently using a 3UK PAYG Unlimited Data SIM for my home broadband, been using it for the last week, but the 5G speed seems slow:
Band selection:
Primary B28 - CA B3 + B1 + N78
DL: 15 - 110Mbps (although it has reached 250Mbps+ twice but has never got near that again)
UL: 10 - 20Mbps
The mast I'm connecting to is 1mile away (as the crow flies) and has bands 1, 3, 20 & 28 (according to Cellmapper) the signal details I'm receiving are as follows:
Primary 4G band B28
RSRP -105dBm
RSRQ -10 -> -8dB
SINR 10 - 18db
N78 (using an omni antenna up on the roof)
NR RSRP -100dBm
NR RSRQ -11dB
NR SINR 16 - 20dB
I know the 4G signal isn't fantastic but the 5G signal is OK, I would of thought the DL speed would of been much better, I'm happy with the UL speed.
Is there a better band selection I could try or is the DL speed the best I can expect for the distance?
I'm using the 3internet APN (IPv4 only) and CloudFare DNS.
