Unknown Facts: There would hardly be any person in India who has never traveled by train. Even today, a large number of people consider train as the most reliable and convenient means of traveling long distances.
Whenever you have traveled by train, you must have felt one thing that the mobile network often becomes weak. It becomes difficult to make calls and sometimes the internet works and sometimes stops completely. This problem happens to almost every passenger, but very few people know the reason behind it.
Actually, when the train is standing at the station or moving slowly, then the mobile network remains normal. But as the train picks up speed, the phone keeps switching from one mobile tower to another. Due to this frequent change, the signal does not remain stable and the network becomes weak.
This is the reason why the problem of call drops and slow internet is more common while traveling in a high-speed train.
Train route is also a major reason for weak mobile network. The train often passes through villages, forests and hilly areas, where the number of mobile towers is less. In such areas the signal naturally becomes weak.
Apart from this, the design of the train also affects the network. Actually, the structure of the train is completely made of metal, which blocks radio signals to a great extent. This is the reason why signals keep dropping repeatedly during travel.
As far as slow internet speed is concerned, there is a practical reason behind it also. You must have seen many times that the network on the phone appears full, but the internet does not work properly. This happens because many passengers are using mobile data at the same time in the train. When more users suddenly connect to the same tower, the load on it increases and the internet speed decreases.
