Sometimes I have to get the old drum out and give it a bang.
For a couple of weeks now I've been experiencing severe throttling by Three from the mast over in Great Barton, eNB 9583.
Prior to this, I'd hit 250Mbps down, 35-38Mbps up consistently without much deviation. Since however, it's barely tickled 160-180Mbps down and a damn near constant 18-20Mbps up - like REALLY consistent.
I noticed the tower went down for several hours and the issues appeared to begin after it came back up.
To diagnose I've tried swapping the RM500Q for the NL952, swapping sim cards etc and still, same speeds.
More worryingly, I drove out to the mast with my Xiaomi 11 lite NE and still experienced the same thing in the same sector on 4G. Switching out to 5G N78 however bearing in mind there's only 40Mhz bandwidth hit over 700Mbps down so that rules out backhaul.
Naturally, speaking to Three (even as a business customer) gets me the generic 'you've not got very good coverage' ********e (I swear that's all first line has access too, coverage checker).
Now, this is where it gets really weird. I've seen some weird stuff going on with signal stats - specifically only apparently on B3 where the SINR would jump around and I mean jump, suddenly, from say 24-26dB to 10dB, or to 14dB, for a few seconds and then back up seemingly at random.
Was sat watching it this morning and then suddenly it stopped and sat solid at 24-26dB
Band 1 appeared to be behaving fine.
