Mast Issues

I've been using a CPE Pro on SMARTY for a few months without any issues. It normally jumps between 2 masts but the general speeds are over 60mb which is 4x the speed of our peak ADSL speed.

A couple of days ago I noticed the 4G speed dramatically drop to around 1.5mb and I noticed that the mast/cell ID has changed to one I've not seen before.

I know theres no way of forcing a mast selection but is there anywhere I can see if there is work going on to a mast or anything that could be forcing us to use this mast that is much further away?

I noticed last night around 10pm taht the router had jumped back on to the closer mast and we were back to 60mb+. But then this morning it has gone back to the further away mast and back down to 1-2mb.

The CELL_ID of the one we seem to be stuck on at the moment is 2595584.

Thanks!
 
The cellmapper web site gives that cell ID 2595584 as a eNB ID of 10139 and is here

Checking Three's network status checker is a good place to start, and then also check EE's - more then often they share masts and one may give more information of ongoing issues for your postcode than the other.

The CellID you provided was for a mast that wasn't located on cellmapper - I've just moved that to its appropriate location at Leigh RUFC (so it might be closer than you thought?)

Again from cellmapper's data, it seems that all the mapped masts around that area are mostly reported as B3 only - you could try band-forcing and remove B3, to try drop onto some B1, if its nearby, which might be faster than you have currently.
