    Do you know what the signal bar on a phone actually represents? My commute has quite a few areas with good (full or almost full) ‘signal’ but with the no internet exclamation mark.

    That’s why I have assumed it’s a bandwidth to the mast problem.

    Ultimately, phone networks are not built to cope with commuter trains ☹️

      Thoughts and prayers. It will even lie about the technology in use (e.g. it may display “5G” while connected to a “4G LTE” cell if that cell supports 5G EN-DC, regardless of if the feature is actually in use).
