The cell id 8867478 is 572m away on 3g (Around the corner)
Quite a difference and that explains the shocking speeds on 4g the mast it's connecting to is nowhere local!!”
Hi, thanks for the info
In which case, I wouldn't be at all surprised at the 4G speeds - at that distance, your signal strength would be quite low, which wouldn't be helping things - and if it's the only 4G mast in that area, and everyone is trying to connect to it, that would explain the lower speeds. (Chances are, if you was closer to the 4G mast, it'd connect quite nicely at quite fast speeds.)
Though with such a differing signal strength between 3G and 4G, I'd be surprised if your phone didn't automatically lock onto 3G instead, as the connection would be more reliable.
