EE support Band 20,Is that because RWG don't support Band 20 or EE don't?
Full MVNO – has the infrastructure and technology to create a core network. This includes its HLR (Home Location Register), networking hardware, routing capabilities, applications, customer care, handset management, etc. Full MVNOs only rely on an MNO for Radio Access Network to provide 3G, 4G, or 5G services but handles all other elements related to infrastructure, operations, customers, and data on their own.
Light MVNO – this model has the same capabilities as a full MVNO but lacks its HLR, networking infrastructure, and hardware. A light MVNO relies on the MNO for operational management and focuses its efforts on marketing, customers, and billing.
Second Brand MVNO – this model serves as a second brand for its partnering MVNO and has all the capabilities of a light MVNO but depends on an MNO for application and services.
Branded Reseller MVNO – branded reseller MVNO is heavily dependent on its partnering MNO and only focuses on marketing and sales.
Thanks -- also found this...EE support Band 20,

1p Mobile are a Full MVNO
Now Mobile are a Light MVNO
Talkhome are a Second Brand MVNO of Now Mobile
RWG are a Branded Reseller MVNO of Now Mobile
RWG are a Branded Reseller of a Light MVNO, who like EE Pay As You Go do not support Band 20.
Never shows up at all here. Scancom blame the router. But it's the same in my A52 5G phone, even if I drive right up to the mast... :-(@IJD 5g has disappeared on my Scancom EE sim too, if I reboot my Mikrotik Chateau 5G it shows for a few minutes and then swaps to 4G+
Can you take a photo of the mast?Never shows up at all here. Scancom blame the router. But it's the same in my A52 5G phone, even if I drive right up to the mast... :-(
But I can't find if it supports 5G, cellmapper is no help -- if anyone knows another way, it's tower 12942 (Northolt) which supports B1/B3/B7/B20, router reports connections on B7/B3/B7/B1 but seems to be using B7 (cell ID 3313160, cell 8 on tower)
It's on top of a fairly tall block of flats -- from Google Streetview...Can you take a photo of the mast?
@IJD 5g has disappeared on my Scancom EE sim too, if I reboot my Mikrotik Chateau 5G it shows for a few minutes and then swaps to 4G+
It would, but none of the other SIMs I can get my hands on are EE... :-(I don't know if it's the same problem, but sometimes my phone stops connecting to 5G. The 5G icon is there and I'm within the 600GB FUP, but Network Signal Guru only shows 4G bands (CA) and the speeds confirm it. No changes after a reboot, but it usually starts working again a few hours later/the next day.
It would be nice to have an EE SIM to see if they can use 5G when Scancom can't.
EE PAYG supports 4G Calling and thus Band 20 now.EE support Band 20,

EE Pay As You Go is a Second Brand MVNO.
A possibility is that no EE SIM and device combination can get 5G NSA in that location. This would be very easy to rule out by obtaining a counter-example.Anyone see any other conclusion?
The problem is that I don't know 100% for sure of any such location, and none of my other SIMs (or those of friends) are 5G EE to try out... :-(A possibility is that no EE SIM and device combination can get 5G NSA in that location. This would be very easy to rule out by obtaining a counter-example.
Alternatively, take the Scancom EE SIM to a location with known-good 5G NSA for an EE SIM and unlocked device, and try the Scancom EE SIM in that known-good device.
Absent the correct data, no conclusion can be drawn at all and it's all speculation.
Current conclusion is insufficient data.
Has Scancom agreed to look into things or do they remain unconvinced?The problem is that I don't know 100% for sure of any such location, and none of my other SIMs (or those of friends) are 5G EE to try out... :-(
But given that the EE 5G coverage map shows a 5G-indoors area centered on the basestation I drove to (and am connected to), surely it seems unlikely that this doesn't have a good 5G NSA signal right next to it?
I chatted to them online yesterday and they were unconvinced (blame the router! blame the signal!), but also didn't seem very knowledgeable. So I've just sent support a detailed email with screenshots and maps attached, hopefully this will get to somebody technically savvy... ;-)Has Scancom agreed to look into things or do they remain unconvinced?
Those look like NokiasIt's on top of a fairly tall block of flats -- from Google Streetview...
Unfortunately, your phone showing the "5G" icon doesn't mean you're using 5G radio access, as I learned here:I don't know if it's the same problem, but sometimes my phone stops connecting to 5G. The 5G icon is there and I'm within the 600GB FUP, but Network Signal Guru only shows 4G bands (CA) and the speeds confirm it.

So.......... 5G or not? ;-) ;-) ;-)View attachment 6175
The one on the left looks like my Huawei's meritez.
