Mobile Network / Peak Hour Commute on Train / Wynyard, Sydney / Internet Not Working

Hey All,

I'm on Jeenee Mobile and noticed that during morning commute on the train the mobile internet pretty much stops working from around North Sydney to around Central.
I have "bars", as in signal, but webpages stop loading, videos stop, etc.
I'm not sure if it's my phone somehow, the mobile provider (Jeenee), or the carrier (Optus).

What's your experience?

    It’s because of the volume of people wanting to use it at the same time, that and the geography Harbour then Tunnels on the Optus network. Its the same when you go to a big sporting event. It’s a capacity issue

    • That's certainly possible - that's why I'm interested what others experience.
      To me it seems like everybody is busy scrolling up and down on FB and Insta around me, whilst I'm just waiting for my next Spanish lesson to load :)

  • Coverage and bandwidth are different things

  • Sounds like a bad carrier. No problems last time I was in Sydney on Telstra, but that was not during peak.

    • Sydney airport Virgin domestic terminal, every Friday afternoon - (Telstra) try loading your browser, it won't work despite full bars. I would have thought somewhere like Sydney Airport would have oodles of bandwidth available, but they don't.

  • A small section crossing the Harbour Bridge appears to be a dead spot for me. Telstra.

  • Issues entering tunnel just before wynyard. Vaya (Optus).
    Three times so far from memory whilst talking on the phone. Cutting out then call drops. Calls were to landlines so definitely my problem.
    I thought it was changing towers, or entering tunnel losses. Are they still normal issues these days?

  • wouldn't be surprised if it is optus congestion. they seem to oversell every network they run
