The mobile phone is an all-rounder on the go - if the reception is right.
The mobile phone providers speak of good coverage and promise further improvement.
The users are more critical.
District
- Over 99 percent of the population in the Ebersberg district are supplied with mobile communications.
This is the statement made by the three leading mobile communications representatives Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone and Telefonica / O2.
According to Telekom spokesman Markus Jodl, 48 locations provide reception, 34 of which have already been upgraded to the new 5G standard.
"Edge (standard that does not do much more than telephoning; editor's note) no longer plays a role," it says.
With the exception of “a small gap” in the Ebersberger Forest, the district is “well looked after”.
Jörg Borm from O2 reports this in a similar way: "Currently the O2 network (2G / 3G / 4G) completely covers the population in the Ebersberg district." The only known dead spots are "in the depths of the Anzinger forest area".
Provider: 99 percent of all households supplied with mobile devices
Vodafone also offers full coverage, according to group spokesman Tobias Krzossa.
According to him, more than 99 percent of households not only have edge reception, but can also surf on the go.
“Still, this one percent is annoying,” he admits in view of the last few gaps.
However, a distinction must be made between dead spots and data congestion, says Krzossa.
“Think of it like a two-lane freeway, where more and more traffic makes a three-lane one necessary.
That's when it comes to a traffic jam, ”he explains.
The LTE network will be further expanded at such locations in the district in order to cope with the growing data traffic.
EZ survey shows: users complain about gaps in rural areas
Various district citizens see the situation as less rosy than the cell phone network operators. In a non-representative online survey by development cooperation on Facebook, citizens from rural areas in particular complain about little or no reception. The number of comments - mostly complaints - quickly shoots into the three-digit range. "Where did they measure? Directly under your radio masts? ”They say sarcastically, because:“ We usually don't do anything. ”Several users include the community of Bruck with the districts of Alxing, Pienzenau and Taglaching as dead spots.
Above all, the users agree on the largest mobile communications construction site: the Ebersberger Forst, which is practically a single large radio hole. One user argues that this is very unfavorable on the route between Schwaberwegen and Ebersberg: “Precisely because there are always serious accidents on this route.” But according to the survey, all three providers also leave in the city of Ebersberg itself, from the commercial area to the city center to be desired. There “the Vodafone network runs like a sack of nuts and keeps collapsing,” writes one user.
According to the survey in Grafing, phone calls are not much better.
Both at the train station and in the Eisendorf and Straussdorf districts, there is agreement about the need for improvement.
In addition, several complain about the entire train route between Aßling and Kirchseeon - especially at the Grafing station.
Also often mentioned: The communities of Zorneding, Moosach and Oberpframmern.
Provider: Location search difficult
According to Vodafone, a major problem with the nationwide expansion is finding new locations for transmitter masts.
Because the processes up to the erected transmission tower are different from community to community.
In addition, there is the geographically difficult connection to the power grid in the forests.
This is also confirmed by Jodl from Deutsche Telekom.
More locations would have to be made available for 100 percent coverage.
Then it would be "in no time".
Borm von O2 also refers to the money that first had to be spent on acquiring the frequencies.
Such additional investments make it more difficult "to achieve complete and therefore completely uninterrupted area coverage."
