    I signed up for the sim only mobile complete plan with eir, its meant to include 5G data

    1) Received the sim which shows its a post-pay sim
    2) Activated on the plan
    3) Received a Samsung Note 20 Ultra 5G a few days ago so went to test it today in an area in Midleton, Cork which shows has good 5G coverage through the nperf app

    Phone wouldn't connect to 5G at all, best was 4G+ pulling good speeds from 50-240Mbps

    - tried turning phone on and off again
    - checked in settings to make sure it was on 5G/4G/3G/2G auto connect
    - tried in APN settings trying Eir Data under data.myeirmobile.ie and also Meteor Data under data.mymeteor.ie

    Anyone out there offer any pointers where this could be causing an issue?

    I didnt no, was basing it off coverage levels on nperf showing where Eir 5G was picked up

    Whats the best website to check mast locations and if the mast is 5G enabled or not?

    Gonna answer my own question here, on my original post I thought i was in range of a 5G tower, perhaps i wasn't and thus didnt connect to it. Have since connected to a different mast that i know for sure is 5TG/NR enabled and i connected just fine to it

    https://siteviewer.comreg.ie/#explore - does show 5G enabled masts, it shows up as NR or (New Radio)

    I was out food shopping and there is a NR/5G mast at Mahon in Cork

    Speedtests outside around 700Mbps, inside Tesco around 400Mbps
