EE's L07 / B28 LTE

Has anyone encountered it? I saw Robyn / Undersc0re had spotted it in South Wales, and I managed to see it in one of those pesky CrossCountry trains from 12160 (Charteris Land, Canongate, Edinburgh) but couldn't log it on Cellmapper due to a lack of GPS. I've tried band-locking near my house but it's not on any masts around here.

I assume it's DSS? What are the speeds like? It should be quite useful in old stone buildings in Edin city centre, which tend to keep L18 out a lot of the time unless you're really near the mast.
 
Sorry, forgot to attach this.

Haven't seen it here yet, but someone on the forums did mention that they spotted B28 around here. I didn't believe that they were actually connected to B28 though given what the field test view was showing.

I believe it's DSS and is only used in situations where absolutely necessary. It's also deployed in two sites in Shropshire to provide additional coverage to a town that currently struggles from it.

That sector ID definitely lines up with EE B28 though, so is legitimate. First time B28 has been used in an urban area though. Sites that B28 is showing up at in Northern Ireland is inaccurate data from roaming on Vodafone IE iirc

Someone's spotted another L07 mast in Edinburgh, on the Eye Pavilion! Sadly it wasn't me, but thankfully they were running CellMapper. From experience it's a busy mast (I used to work near there), and the extra capacity will be useful during the Fringe.

Edit: looks like it was picked up in Musselburgh - I imagine from a plane, or a drone carrying a handset!

I spoke too soon - it's also been seen on Fountainbridge TE, Leith TE and Edinburgh Tabernacle.

B28 seen again? Very interesting
 
Rarely see B28 but we have N7 on a few sites here.

N7 is generally uncommon, theres a fair few towers with it in my area as well but Cellmapper doesn't show N7 for whatever reason (the cells are there, they just don't have a band)

On CellMapper it shows as Band 41 around here.

I just wanted to point this out, but by L07, OP is referring to B28, not B7.

It shows as band 41 as B7/41 have the same downlink frequency (iirc B41 is like 2496-2690 (B38 is a subset of B41 btw, 2570-2620) and B7 is 2620-2690)
