UNLIMITED 4G Data

We don't use a landline here , too expensive now , mobile broadband is the way forward ,

If you've got a mobile signal.
What happens after Brexit, all the roaming charges?

 

[Derrick Hughes]

yet 2 pages back you quoted your 4G signal speed from a multitude of providers

Sorry I confused myself . I thought we were talking phones

No change , all sorted .

So, mine has arrived. Extensive testing walking around the village trailing an extension cable has commenced

the best I got was 23 up and 15 down, that was standing on the digger cab in the orchard with 3 bars.

what I have noticed is the bars of signal on the router make a massive difference - about 1 m lower (in the cab) and on 2 bars, I was 12.8 down and 10.4 up

if you are in an iffy area I suggest you get a router with a) a read out of signal strength and b) an external aerial designed for the job.

now I need to find one...

An external directional antenna will be even better than an omni, but you need to know where your local/strongest signal mast is and accurately aim your antenna towards it. Height above the deck also helps massively.

Yeah exactly.

The nice man at three gave me some indication but that was all, I can work it roughly, the aerial is going on the top of the workshop, I’d rather run the cable back to the office than the cat 6 out of the router.

Next quest is to find the right router and Aerial combo

I would recommend you look at Poynting LTE external antennas. Very good! I can provide a link and pic etc of mine a little later on.

Aerial cable length can be a prob. Ours came with 5m When I asked about extending it, was not recommended. All to do with loss / gain or something.
@Pheasant Surprise might know about this

bobk getting owned by you reminds me of the time Suzanne Evans (former Deputy Chair of UKIP) owned herself when she furiously tweeted:

Very disappointed my mobile provider ⁦@VodafoneUK⁩ refusing to rule out roaming charges after Brexit, saying it hopes ‘arrangements will be made’ to keep it free. If ⁦@ThreeUK⁩ doesn’t need any ‘arrangements,’ why do you, Vodafone?

Wouldn't you have more fun on a project fear forum , we've heard all this sh!t before .

Anyway , seeing as your a London geezer ...... have you not noticed the English pound sneaking up ? suggesting a deal will be done ... or does that spoil your inbred pessimism .

I see a one cent gain over the last 3 three weeks or so but still some way short of the 1.40 ish pre-referendum

However, I do agree broadly agree with you that the markets are expecting *something* to happen between now and 29/3/19

If we crash out with a no-deal the £ will crash below the EU so the fact that we're currently trading around the 1.15 mark indicates to me that the markets have factored in the strong possibility that no-deal will be averted.

Of course, the only way a no-deal can be averted is, as I said previously, *something* has to happen

What that *something* is can only be one of four possibilities in my view

1. The EU cave in to May and agree on removing the backstop (highly unlikely imho)
2. The ERG cave in and back May's deal as it currently stands (unlikely imho and there still might not be enough support to get it through HoC)
3. UK Govt revoke Article 50 entirely (unlikely imho but oh my gosh if that was to happen just you watch the £ soar like an eagle )
4. UK Govt request an extension to Article 50

I think the market is expecting an Article 50 extension. My own view is the likelihood of that happening is probable but it's by no means a certainty

Your summary I agree with , but why keep mentioning the referendum , we are where we are .... so let's get on with it .
What gets on everyones tits is remainers saying the vote was wrong , try and be proactive .
