Glo Ghana can be faster than MTN and Vodafone

 MTN Speed Test: Vodafone Speed Test: Glo Speed Test: Now why did that happen? 1. Interference. "Interference" sounds evil, but in this case it is not the evil type. Instead, it just happens naturally. Licensed transmitters interfere with one another, which can really be a problem if there are many cell sites. 2. Sharing. Sharing is caring, and sharing 4G is no exception. It would not make sense to wait for everyone else to disconnect once they're done using 4G, so, everyone in the area shares. 3. Signal Strength - mostly for MTN. There may be other reasons but there is not enough data to analyze at the moment. 620 01 is MTN. SINR: -9 = Significant interference, SINR: -3 = Interference, RSRQ: -18 = Interference, RSRP: -112 = weak signal. 620 02 is Vodafone. RSRQ: -15 = Sharing, SINR: -2 = Interference. The SINR remains similar in the IDLE state. 620 03/10762 is Tigo. The Glo SIM gets a cell site associated with Tigo. Also, the ISP is detected as Zain. So, similar results ...

Vodafone Ghana 'Band 28'

If a phone supports Band 28 but doesn't support Band 20, Vodafone Ghana may still be detected. This is because the downlink (site to phone) frequencies for the center part of its Band 20 are a part of Band 28. There's a difference in the frequencies phones transmit around. On Band 20, phones transmit around 798.5 + 41 = 839.5 On Band 28, phones transmit around 798.5 - 55 = 743.5 Logs: ProtocolEvent.
