Finding best cell tower for Home Broadband

bhr
Fledgling

I'm looking for a way to understand where the best cell tower for my location is. CS was not able to help and I'm not sure which cell tower my hub is currently connected to.

The location is NW1 6 / NW8 8. 
The ECGI CELL ID is: 0014C2C-114 PLMN:23420

NR PCI: 85, PCI 79.

I'm getting on the Greenpacket Y5-210MU
- 5G SINR: 4dB RSRP: -95dBm
- 4G SINR: 7dB RSRP: -87dBm

I would have a look at the Cellmapper web site which tells you all you need to know about the cell sites with a map display, the cell ID's and the bands in use.

The information relies on crowd sourced data from users using a phone app. Sometimes by selecting particular bands or even 1 band only you will see an improvement in service or can force the router to use another mast, this is assuming your router allows that, not all do. I have read that an update on one router (Three) recently had that option removed by an update.

Getting the best from your particular situation can be trial and error
