Is there a way to see which Tower I have connected to?
I have this info here
ENB ID 33021
CELL ID 8453376
PCI 293
Thanks

You can find it on cellmapper; enter the provider, then go to 'search' and enter the eNB ID. You can view it here.
Is that completely accurate?
Going by that I'm connecting to a mast 17 miles away point to point / as the crew flies and getting 60 - 95mb down speeds?
Pretty plausible, though probably pretty susceptible to poor weather conditions at that distance. What's your upload speed like?Is that completely accurate?

If you open that eNB on Google maps satellite view, it certainly shows the mast.(Centre of piccy), It's in Aspatria.![]()
A mini miracle.I saw that it said Aspatria and I'm in Scotland on the outskirts of Annan which is quite a distance lol....
Around 40mbPretty plausible, though probably pretty susceptible to poor weather conditions at that distance. What's your upload speed like?
Where/how/what did you get the eNB/cell/PCI info from?
Very plausible! Especially if you have direct line of sight. You can use this tool to get a visual graph of elevation between two points.I'm using a poynting directional antenna, have I managed to point it directly to a tower 17 miles away??

Bear in mid that the mast is probably 20-30 metres above the usual elevation of the land and then also the height above the ground in your home, (ie could be in an upstairs window or roof space)
Back when 3G was the next big thing, I was able to use a directional antenna to bounce the signal off a metal building to go around a hill!
