Yeah, I'd 48, Tesco etc, got caught out, NL, etc are shutting down 3g in favour of 4g & 5g, 2g is kept for hospital equipment, elderly alarms etc, low data traffic devices on 2g lower frequency (lower=goes father/further & through walls etc) now I think they have it sorted by 4g roaming deal.
3g was always crappy in Amsterdam centraal area, coz of the phone traffic volumes
