I’m currently in one of the biggest cities in Belgium. Actual SIM card with orange + e-sim with mobile Vikings (Proximus), but still no coverage on either…

  3. You can try to force your phone to use 4G. You’ll have to wait a little longer for your porn to load, but should be fine.

  8. Brussel? Yeah forget about even trying 5g, it’s completely useless for on my phone too

    It really only works in Ghent for me

  18. I have the same issue, with Vikings as well, the internet does not work in my house. They claim my walls might be too thick. Orange did not seem to have this issue tho.

  20. Oof that must be hard.

    Try to disable one sim, I’ve found that you get better reception because then the 2 sims aren’t interfering with each other or something like that.

  22. Isn’t mobile Vikings on the orange network as well? I think that’s explain why you get the same range

    Edit: nvm, it seems they changed at some point

  25. Some types of insulation have a layer of alu as well. This may interfere with reception i guess.

    The exact location (/direction from your house) of the antenna of your provider may determine quality of reception.

    Do you have better reception outside? And when near a large window?

  27. 5G is a scam, that the developing companies have copied from China. They are lobbying for government funding, selling it off, as the next generational leap, which it`s not. Aside from some uses, the general market has no big purpose for it, even if it would work, to get those speeds, you would need a ridiculous amount of signal outputs, because these waves don`t penetrate sH%t.

  30. Jokes aside, 5G seems to suck hard over here. Unless you’re outside in a city, you’re better off using 4G than letting your phone decide that one bar of 5G mUsT bE wAy BeTtEr than 3 bars of 4G.

  32. There is one 5G antenna in brussels due to some backwards groups lobbying against them and there are basically none in Wallonie. Only chance you have is being in Flandre if you want 5G and even thats not amazing

  36. Wait a few more time!! I’m inside the 5g implementation on Belgium!! And there are everyday new orange and Proximus sites being swapped for 5g capable equipments.
