3 and EE limit indoor coverage


I have been having problems with Indoor coverage  , with iD/3 and according to OFCOM network coverage checker both 3 and EE limit network availability when the device is connected to broadband network.

Whereas O2 and Vodafone do not limit their network when connected to a broadband network.

Not sure that is currently possible, @Kenw

Mobile network radio signals would normally be omni-directional - it would be extremely difficult to limit/restrict any given network operators signal at any given indoor location, without affecting every customer using the network in the given area.

Hi @Kenw,

Welcome to the Community!

The service being limited means that you may have limited services indoors.

Have you checked your coverage and network status at the link below:
