[QUOTE="Timbo1080, post: 7296480, member: 3693"] Literally just done this for myself and our neighbour. Helping the next neighbour after the weekend. Little hamlet the wrong side of the A303 from the nearest village. Wife does a lot of video calls all day, couple of smart TV's, iPads and mobiles on Wifi in the house. BT was useless at around 5Mb...Couldn't support the video calls etc. FTTC is about 2 miles away. Wessex Internet are hoping to get FTTP at the beginning of summer, but I think my wife would be sacked by then as the line is so bad. So far so good with this: Mikrotik LHG LTE Kit (RBLHGR&R11e-LTE) - Which is an external dish with built in router, and comes with the PoE injector. I had already set up my own network in the house with Unifi products a couple of years ago, but got my neighbour this: Ubiquiti Unifi AC LR - Which is the Wireless access point for the house (If you have thick walls you may need more than one, but they are very powerful. They come with PoE injectors too. All you then need is a decent length ethernet cable (Patch cables) to go from the dish to PoE injector, and another from the PoE to the Unifi Access Point, a SIM of your choice. and a couple of available regular 3 pint 13 Amp plug sockets to power them. All the software needed to tune the dish is built in and is painfully simple. All the advice I was given ref. network providers was to ONLY go with EE, as they don't tend to kick you off data if the voice calls at that mast gets overwhelmed.....I.e. The connection is much less likely to be interrupted than it is with other providers (I'm on the side of the A303, and Bank Holiday gridlock often used to bugger our NTRIP RTK on 3, for example, as the local mast was overwhelmed with bored teenagers stuck in traffic, calling and texting their friends).....At least, that is how it has been explained to me......We have not had the same issues at all with the NTRIP on EE. As a result, I have an EE sim in mine, and my neighbour is trying 3. EE is much more expensive, and is generally a 24 month contract, but we need the robustness for my wife. The neighbour only uses it for browsing, so doesn't mind an occasional interruption. You really want line of sight to a nearby mast, but its not essential. Also to note, is that 'Reception' in the area is not particularly significant when it comes to speed of broadband. A useful website for transmitters is : [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.cellmapper.net/map?MCC=234&MNC=30&type=LTE&latitude=51.022794997817016&longitude=-3.158879588097484&zoom=7.799999999999999&showTowers=true&showTowerLabels=true&clusterEnabled=true&tilesEnabled=true&showOrphans=false&showNoFrequencyOnly=false&showFrequencyOnly=false&showBandwidthOnly=false&DateFilterType=None&showHex=false&showVerifiedOnly=false&showUnverifiedOnly=false&showLTECAOnly=false&showENDCOnly=false&showBand=0&showSectorColours=true&mapType=roadmap[/URL] Just set the criteria in the left hand side boxes for the provider you want, and whether you want 2G, 3G, 4G etc.... A good website to get a bit of understanding is : Mastdigital.co.uk It really is all very easy to DIY. We're up at between 30-40Mb Download, and 20-40Mb Upload now, and its rock solid in terms of dropouts. Think i've remembered everything! Good luck! Edited to say that the dish was about £110, the Unifi AP about £90, and the EE Sim is expensive at £25/month for 200Gb. [/QUOTE]
