I'm not sure what DSS is but Cell Mapper tells me that the mast at the station (which is a few hundred meters away from us) has both a B1 cell and a separate B3 cell covering us. Since my phone is saying "Band info 3" doesn't it seem like this would be the B3 cell? And from what I can understand about how 5G is being used, it is sometimes "farmed out" to older 4G frequencies so if my phone is showing 5G on B3 that should be N3, right? The numbers stay the same and the letters change from B to N when it's 5G?Actually, it may not be n1, looking at the mast at Nailsea and Backwell station (hello fellow West of England human), B1 4G is broadcasting from there (last seen 10th of March which would suggest it's still there) and I'm not aware that EE is doing DSS on B1.
I would wage my bets on that being n28.
Edit: Google just told me this: "Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS for short) is a new antenna technology that for the first time enables the parallel use of LTE and 5G in the same frequency band. The technology determines the demand for 5G and LTE in real-time. The network then divides the available bandwidth independently and decides dynamically for which mobile communications standard it ideally uses the available frequencies. For the user, Dynamic Spectrum Sharing means: If you surf with a 5G smartphone within the radius of an antenna equipped with the technology, you are surfing in the 5G standard. On the other hand, if you surf with a 4G phone within the signal range of the same antenna, you surf with 4G. In short: one antenna, two networks."
