Eli5 : Why do 3 lines of Vodafone have a faster 4g than a full signal of Orange?

188 views

As I posted on my account, I got a Vodafone sim card and the signal is kinda weaker in some parts of the city/country and stronger in many other parts lf the country than the Orange sim card .

I’m curious how is it possible that a sim card has Signal meanwhile the other does not have it(or not as much as the other)…

What I find funny is that the guy from the Vodafone store told me that Vodafone uses the same Towers for 4g that Orange uses, but interesting enough 2-3 bars of Vodafone as fast than a 4G+ of Orange in the place I live

I’m from Romania btw if that matters

I can only say that different providers use different “gauges” to measure signal strength, one could show 4 bars at -95db while the other at -85db. Because the db is negative stronger signal will be closer to zero.
