Sorry if this is answered elsewhere, but I'm new to all this and trying to learn more about MNO deployments.
Where I am based, the vast majority of EE LTE sites broadcast Band 3 only. In my experience EE Band 3 is shocking indoors...
By comparison, the 3 sites (same physical locations mostly) broadcast LTE on 1, 3, 20 and Vodafone are using a mix of 1, 7, 8, 20.
I know EE has spectrum in band 1, 7 and 20 & that they mostly use 20 as a rural coverage layer.
But does anyone know why they don't vary their bands more? I thought using MIMO, phones can bond bands to increase throughput?
