If you have gone to see a football match, a concertor any event in which many people gather in a specific space, it has happened to you that the coveragedespite being good, it doesn’t work as it should, and if you want to send a simple WhatsApp, it takes hours.
Well, this has a very logical explanation that you may have imagined. This is the congestion of an antenna, which, like your home router, has a certain bandwidth, so if many people use it at the same time, it cannot offer a good connection to everyone.
How to improve coverage in a stadium
Although in a certain way we cannot work miracles, there is a trick that usually works, or at least gives us a little more speed, which, It not only depends on our phone, but also on the companyWell, if you belong to an operator that uses another’s coverage, such as Finetwork and Vodafone, they will always prioritize real Vodafone users, so you will have it complicated in itself.
The method is very simple, and it is about reducing the current technology, that is, do not use 5G to return to 4G. This, although it may seem illogical, since we would have less speed, it is not so, since if 10,000 people are connected to the latest generation network, and there are only 1,000 in 4G, the performance, despite being slower, will also be slower. divided among fewer people, which makes your real speed higher than with 5G.
In a way, this trick depends on the type of nearby antennas, the number of people there are, and especially if they use 4G or 5G, since it may be that, due to settings, no one drops the network, however, many phones still do not have 5G, so they are forced to use that.
To do this, if you have an iPhone, you will only have to go to Settings – mobile data – voice and dataand select automatic 5G, instead of 4G, forcing it to only connect to lower networks. At that moment we can see if the trick works, something that does not always have to improve the speed, since, as we have seen, it depends on more factors, and if the antennas are not prepared, and the number of people is too large, It won’t matter what we do, although the few times I have tried it, it must be said that my connection has improved, and I have been able to at least communicate or send a photo, even though it is slow.
And you, have you ever tried this? Do you have any extra tricks that might work? Leave us a comment with your opinion and what you do when you go to a concert or soccer game and you don’t have good coverage. The truth is that sometimes it is frustrating, especially at the emergency level, to know that things are going so wrong, since everyone is uploading stories to Instagram, and it ends up in a funnel that is difficult to solve.
