any one had to do this and how did it go , i got the 5G VTE router sim as my current partial fiber internet is poor and prone to crashes etc, , was told our area wasn't getting upgraded to full fiber for another 18 months or so so thought id try this, i was expecting decent things or a good bit better than i have but this has been seriously poor ,
I'm getting higher speeds but very erratic sometimes 210 Mbps sometimes as low as 21 but averaging id say 70-120 compared to the 19-21 i get from plus net . But the lag / latency is that bad I've had to resort to connecting to my existing internet in its place.
the speed drops are constant, the loaded latency is over 5-600, the unloaded anywhere from 50 to 150 and the only thing connected at time of testing is my works laptop,
i also have the added issue of using a VPN and its 50/50 if i get connected or not, done all the change name./ ipv4 /6 suggestions on here and its made no difference , my works IT have checked on their end and no changes to vpn and theres no issue using plusnet for work so must be on 3's side
