Here is a good example of what I mean, speedtests yesterday compared to today, yet I'm being denied there is any issue with the 4G sector in my direction, I was even picking up 5G yesterday, now I can't even get a usable 4G signal.
I Saw someone at ThreeCare replied to someone saying the works are done on Arranmore, I really hope that isn't the case , People here going mental because their internet signal and speed has been unusable the last 2 days and it was all cuz of some changes that were made to the mast, I can see what happened because I monitor my signal readings and speeds in detail every day -*checking the RSRP/RSRQ/SINR/CQI etc) the PHY Cell indentifier number changed from 1 to 257(pics attached showing the deterioration in signal readings) , for whatever reason engineers changed something, experimenting broadcasting power?? why did they do it at all cuz it was fine but it has destroyed the great signal and upgrades we benefited from when they added it a few months back. Infact I even have the dates the big upgrade was done , it was on the 17/08/2020 , I know the date because I made a post about it cuz I was excited we finally had good internet. That day they upgraded the Arranmore mast by adding band 1, band 28 4G , and improved the existing band 3 cells... band 3 signal improved dramatically and this was amazing and we all enjoyed fast internet here , working from home, getting our college work done, it was great,up until 2 days ago and its been awful since whatever day it went down. tested multiple devices and asked multiple people I know that are on the same network I know the issue is not on my end or anyone else living beside me, There is clearly a massive drop in signal and speeds ever since they changed something 2-3 days ago. It appears like they have either lowered the power at which the mast is broadcasting at, or adjusted the mast antenna to another direction resulting in poorer signal for us. I've lost my ability to stream as well since my upload went from having 30+ to barely hitting 3 or 4. Best part of it all is I spent 900 euro on a 5G capable phone and I was even getting 5G signal here with that the day before , now all that is gone and I have to know whether I've just wasted my money or not. Signal problem began literally a day after buying it. Why would you's downgrade randomly months after doing something great, having these great speeds and it looks like it going to be taken away after all the good it done. I really hope you can do something proper about this as I depended on the internet to do stuff everyday. Comparison of before (good signal) and the current bad signal attached)
