Ok have my Zyxel NR5103E soap dispenser up in the loft and up untill a week or so ago I was only getting a good 4G signal from my local Three mast on the East side of Exeter.

But a couple of weeks ago suddenly I started to get 5G signal even though the Three coverage checker shows this side of Exeter devoid of any 5G coverage.

So question is am I getting a signal from an existing mast ( that I cannot identify) or is it a new one that Three have brought into service in the last couple of weeks and Cellmapper just hasn't caught up with reality yet?

If I've done the calculation correctly, the eNB you're looking for is 51461 which doesn't seem to be showing on Cellmapper so far.

Looks like no one has logged it on Cellmapper yet Glitchinthesystem.

Time to go out armed with Cellmapper and wander around like a headless chicken and see if it shows up after your escapade. 😊

If you've already logged it not sure why it's not showing.🤷‍♂️
(Unless I've got the eNB wrong of course) :rolleyes: 😊

Thanks for the confirmation I wasn't going mad.

It won't appear on Cellmapper as the only Three SIM ( well Smarty ) I have is only in the router and knowing the royal PITA design of the SIM slot I'm reluctant to take the SIM out and pop in my phone.

Will order another SIM me thinks from Smarty to "go wandering".. as I'm recently retired from over 40 years in Telecoms I suppose I had better give something back seeing as I have had a good living from it 🤗.. and it will get me out of the house, from unde the wife's feet. Win, Win me thinks 😂

Ah yes have to agree about the SIM slot, it's a pet hate of mine.
I was very unwell having to move the three SIM from router to router to get the latest firmware update. 😊

I do enjoy my walks and always take Cellmapper with me while listening to some of my fave disco music.😁

Anyway, good luck with getting your mast to pop up on Cellmapper Glitchinthesystem. (y)

If you've been in the Telecoms game for over 40 years you should know how it all works by now,

.......so send the Wife out with a Phone to do the Cellmapper thing!

Ahh, microwave radio and fixed telecoms was my background to be fair, only came into real contact with mobile in my last 2 years of my career.

Good idea about the wife though, she can perform a survey whilst walking the dog 😉

Don't forget to tell the doggo to make sure Cellmapper is running though Glitchinthesystem, just in case wifey forgets. (y) 😊

Could do with a wee repaint though. :rolleyes: 😊

Yep, and it's only been in position for about 9+ months before going live in the last 3 weeks, absolutely shocking paint finish.😞
Yes it sure is, something clearly went wrong with that batch of paint, all PoW's near me are still pristine. (y)
 
Nothing wrong with the Paint Finish, its to do with they way the Installers Strap the Pole to the Crane then swing it around in Free Space before aligning it before plonking it in the Ground.

years ago it would have been just Galvanised, bit like Lampposts, but now the Local Councils what them painted, Green, White, Black, Pink or what ever in order to blend in with the Local Community Surroundings.
 
It is the paint finish, there are two pole manufacturers and only one is affected. The last I heard the manufacturer had agreed to sort it out although it may be a while as there is still a lot of these to go into the ground so I would imagine the priority from them and Three is more about keeping them coming out of the factory.
 
Monopole 52036 has been live for months but not showing yet on Cellmapper. I have it on my phone. Can someone tell me the steps I need to take to log it please?

This should help


Thanks. An upload attempt crashes with a java error. Oh well, thanks for the help anyway.
Oh hang on, turn on data first.... that's better.
Now to see if the map gets updated. Nothing yet.

I've pinned where planning permission says the tower is, but there's no up-to-date street view in the area and the coverage patterns seem a bit weird with eNB 3095 being picked up very close, so apologies if it's the wrong location.

Thanks. It's a bit further east on Newton Road but it's close enough. The coverage shown on the map just shows where I was walking with the app turned on; it looks like I am the only person to have uploaded any data for it. It outputs bands 20 and 28 as well as 1 and 3 but my phone doesn't always latch into them, preferring bands 1 and 3. It also used to have b32 but for some reason recently dropped it. I'm surprised you picked up eNB3095 as it's not a strong signal in this direction. eNB1020 (b1+3), a lattice tower at Stonehill is much stronger.
