Could be a silly question, but should I not be able to get 4G where I am right now (Feilding)

The phone I have supports LTE (band 3) 1800 MHz.

Tower about 50 meters from my work.



Phone is set to prefer 4G networks etc.

Cheers

Presence of a licence does not necessarily indicate service (there can be a delay). Normally I'd say to use the official coverage map, but it seems to be broken at the moment!

Bear in mind 1800 was used for GSM as well.




Samsung Note20 Ultra, on 2degrees

Having a license does not necessarily mean a service will be active.
