4G broadband

[Cowabunga]

Here are some interesting details of the availability of an alternative to slow landlines where a mobile signal may be viable, even if a group shared a small aerial above a valley of dwellings perhaps.

Local IT firm been doing this for easily last 5years using Wireless & Fibre links but its doing much the same thing really as a good 4G wireless setup would.

Yes we have put a receiver up,the hill from the farm, armoured cable up to it and it sends 4g line of site down to the steading where we have no signal. Gone from 0.6 to 36 speed for £28/ month unlimited. Use mobile phones in the house through wi if calling.....bloody brilliant especially with two kids at home during lockdown. Cost under 2k all in, only fly in the ointment but won’t let us out of our broadband contract because they technically only have to supply 0.2 to be adequate apparently......t**ts

Getting even cheaper @hally -

Just talking to the lad that works for us who has EE 4G mobile broadband as his house service.
He rang EE last week looking for a better deal ( It`s his speciality ). They offered unlimited data for £25 / a month, less 10% discount as he has EE mobiles. The small print says if usage is over 1000 gb/ month they reserve the right to limit usage.
Been on it 5 days, running at 60mbs
He tried the "3" unlimited contract but found the speed was throttled at peak times

That looks a bargain to me
Before we got FTTP we were on EE , 500gb month for £65

I was getting 2mbps at best from the landline and switched to Three unlimited, from a 4G router. We were getting 20mbps upload and download. I'm now with EE, it's about £10 per month more, but it's faster and less flaky.

Where we used to struggle with Netflix buffering now we have no problems at all. I'd never go back to rural landline based broadband. I wish I'd realised sooner how much quicker 4G had got.

I bought a router like THIS It's no different to an ADSL router really, it's just got a sim in it instead of a connection to the landline.

I suggest you start another thread rather than posting on this one, as it may help you catch a wider audience
