Three 5G upgraded from 40MHz to 100MHz - no noticeable change in throughput
« on: September 29, 2024, 10:20:24 PM »
Hi all,

Noticed that the local mast is now broadcasting 3600MHz (n78) with 100MHz bandwidth instead of 40MHz, but it has made pretty much no difference to the throughput. It's a fairly old mast, so I could speculate about the backhaul not being upgraded. What is likely the case here when it comes to the change?

TIA.

What device are you using to connect to the mast?

Just the standard S24. I opened up NetMonster one day and saw the 100MHz bandwidth there.

The Aqueduct nearer my area are much worsen!

The Aqueduct 5G in TF4 3RR are getting worse now was 950m away from the 5G straight line. Still it got issues on it. Not great!

I just been to Madeley Park Street 5G mast and testing it. The signal pick up 5G by around Andy's Fish Bar as the signal revert back to 4G+ by Madeley Cricket Club and bottom of tiny roundabout before Madeley Tesco. The 5G is too weak for further distance. Overall disappointment.

The test for 4G+ is very poor

The test for 5G NR is capped limit to 120Meg down but uncapped for upload. The same as Aqueduct 5G as it seem Three put capped on 120Meg as a throttling speed. How disappointed.

Seem both Aqueduct and Madeley 5G NR is capped and short distance. Really waste of time. Both 4G+ never go over 60Meg download.
