5G appearing and disappearing

Crispa — Tue, 27 Jun 2023 16:53:10 GMT

I live in an area with no 5G coverage (at least, not from Three).

Recently on visiting the next town, which also has no 5G, I got a good 5G signal. However, later in the day, in the same place, it reverted to 4G.

This has happened twice now.

Is this something that usually happens as 5G transmitters are installed and commissioned?

It happens where I live. I am at the extreme reach of the nearest 5g tower and it's a total pain. The signal is so weak that it will not load a webpage so I have to have 5g turned off. It could, also, be commissioning or oversubscription.

Hi @Crispa,

We can't share info here about where and when new masts will be set up ahead of time, but if it's a location that doesn't show 5G on the coverage checker, then we might be testing in the area.

If you register your interest here, we can let you know when we're officially up and running.

Thanks,
