4g and 5g Not available
At the moment, it's 5G with 2 bars, then it goes back to 4G with 2 bars and lasts around 10 to 15 seconds.
I went to the side of the building outside and had 5G with 3 bars, then it went to 4G with 3 bars. It's the same inside the house, only with 2 bars.
I just don't want to be wasting £55 on an amplifier if it's not going to be any good.
Family will come over eventually. As for friends, I know no one here. I am all alone.
The building is a terrace house converted into two flats. I am on the bottom floor. As for joists and stuff, I don't know.
I was looking at the Nedis mobile signal booster, but I'm not sure yet, as customer support can't decide if it's planned maintenance in the area or if it's just a weak signal in the area. When I checked the map, it's consistent with 4G and 5G, and on the map, I'm sitting next to a white blotch that indicates no signal whatsoever. But thankfully, this isn't the case.
So, Smarty, please tell me what's going on.
EthanielUK While I do appreciate your difficulty, Smarty will perhaps be able to get info about mast works but will not be able to tell you whether you simply have a poor signal where you are.

Ummmm I jist walked to the mast which is 3 mins away 5 mins walking. And i downloaded at 728Mb a second using speedtest app.
I am now walking into city center walking away from mast 6 streets away and its now 101 MB dl speeds, sooo we have a power issue here the signal is weak

EthanielUK Sp, it is likely to be worse still inside your property - as seems to be the case unfortunately.

Well, thanks for the insight but I am literally two streets from the mast. This isnt a mast as in a upright mast atanding 60 ft up or higher, I think its a building mast stuck on the roof or on the side.
I may just but a signal booster see what happens.
Any insights to signal boosters

Hey,
You will likely experience a significant drop in download speeds as you move away from the mast. This could be due to various factors such as distance from the mast, obstructions like buildings or trees, interference from other electronic devices, or even atmospheric conditions.
When you're closer to the mast, you're likely within its optimal range, resulting in higher download speeds. However, as you move away, the signal strength decreases, leading to slower speeds.
This occurrence is common across all network providers.
