Yes. Then re-align the antenna for best signal strength/quality on the required cell.
Well, this is interesting.
i put my 1pMobile SIM in yesterday and the difference is night and day better. I've got NR5G-NSA, and have seen up to 70Mbps down, although the mast I'm connected to must still be quite contended as it there's quite a lot of variance (thought it's never been as low/as unusable as GiffGaff/o2).
My signal strength is slightly worse in the -86 to -91 range (I'm connected to the
same mast (2km away) with my aerial pointing the same way. I tried the router on pure 5G which gave me nothing at all, but still, a huge improvement over the last week I was here using GiffGaff (who, to be fair, have given me a refund as they acknowledge the mast 'is busy'). X marks my location - as you can see according to CellMapper I'm apparently just outside of the cell.
I don't know enough about the difference between NR5G-NSA and 'proper 5G' but my iPhone shows full 5G and two bars of signal, so that got me thinking if I could do any better with a different mast.
My iPhone is connected to a
different mast (22061) which is 5km away, as the crow flies and I'm apparently a bit of a distance away from. The cell is the sliver in blue (Cell 1 PCI 437) and I'm the red X. Cellmapper reckons this has a Max / Avg DL Speed of 249 Mbps / 229 Mbps (compared to my current cell's 23/23Mbps)
My Iska P-60 is currently pointed about 330° NW towards the original mast, and the cell that my iPhone is connected to is 314° NW.
My iPhone currently has a signal of -112dB and a quick speedtest over cellular gives me a sluggish 8Mbps down/4Mbps up (compared to the Caravan's NR5103 42/24Mbps at time of writing).
Which mast do you think I'm better off with? The current one or the one that's further away with potentially faster speeds? I might need to borrow my neighbour's big ladder again....
