Virgin Media Signal Strength
 

I have a dual-sim MotoG phone with Virgin in SIM1 and BT in SIM2. I believe that both Virgin and BT use the EE infrastructure.

Why is it, when signal strength is not optimum (eg inside a building, traveling on a train), that the BT is signal is significantly stronger than the VM signal? As far as I can see, they are both using the same nearby transmission mast. Typical reading from my phone:

BT - 89 dBm 12 asu
Virgin -101 dBm 7 asu

Any ideas?

PS doesn't change when I swap the SIMs.

Do you have the 4G variant of the MotoG as 4G signal may be stronger which you can get on BT but not Virgin

I have a 2nd generation MotoG (2014), so I don't think so. The fastest connection I seem to get is 'H+'. I'm in rural Somerset at the moment, where the best connectivity is 'E'!

Hi,

Related question. Does anyone know what a reasonable signal strength is ?

How does -122 RSSP, dBm sound
