Hi everyone.
New customer on the 5G Home Broadband service here, just wanting to ask a few questions.
I was amazed when the website told me I could get 5G in my area, so had to give it a try. Currently coming to the end of my Plusnet landline broadband, and don't want to commit to 18 months or more as FTTP is meant to be available soon, so thought I would try Three's offering.
I am blown away by the download speed. 300mbps+ some times.
However, the upload speeds are more worrying and possibly the deal breaker for me.
Sometimes I get a 4 or 5mbps upload speed, which compares to what I get down the landline with plusnet (but i only get 27mbps download on the land line, as opposed to 300mbps+ at the best times on three).
Throughout the day though, the upload speed drops to less than 2, which gives me some issues.
I have just now ran a speed test and here are the results, and the info from the Cellular page of the Hub iself.
Speedtest: The download was 280, upload was 1.79.
Cellular Tab:
- Access Technology - NR5G-NSA
- Band - B1,B3,n78,n78
- RSSI - -96

- DL Bandwidth (MHz) - 10M,15M,100M,30M

I have moved it to an upstairs window sill that I think gives the best placement. Would I benefit from an external antenna? The thing that puzzles me is that I can get 5mbps upload speed at certain times, so I think the placement is ok..
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Craig
