    Re: QOTW: How fast is your mobile Internet?

    Hugely variable.

    At home, varies between 0/0 and 120/40
    Center of Manchester - 500/100
    outskirts - 60/10

    All on 5G.

    When it works the speeds are great, but Latency is still an issue on 5G (20-30ms compared to 4-5 on my FTTP) and it's just so variable...mobile internet is still not suitable for a home broadband connection yet. The coverage and stability massively needs to improve.

    Latency should improve with 5G SA (standalone) deployments - early 5G networks operate in NSA (non standalone) mode, effectively being another air interface bolted onto the existing 4G/LTE network. But yeah it's still not a replacement for fixed-line either way.

    Hopefully when those deployments start then it may be - just currently the rollout isn't going well, not helped by the lunatics attacking 5G basestations, or almost as bad, the paranoid anti-huawei idiots who want us to spend billions ripping out the Huawei equipment that's already in place, and massively delay the rollout even more.

    Fingers crossed common sense reigns supreme on that one!

    Vodafone have apparently started https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.ph...bile-tech.html

    But yeah, operators having the rug pulled from under their feet regarding the 5G deployment isn't going to help matters. The whole situation is ridiculous.

    Due to the cost on PAYG it will only be turned on if I really need it .... which, so far, I haven't.

    Re: QOTW: How fast is your mobile Internet?

    Vodafone (fastest package, unlimited data). 4G Coverage. S8.

    At PC (3rd floor, where I'd broadcast an AP if the main internet goes down): Down 8.8Mb/s, Up 21.8Mb/s, 1900, Ping 42ms, Jitter 3ms, LTE, Signal -91dBm, band 20.

    On Toilet (high bandwidth required): Download is, as you'd expect, higher at 9.4Mb/s whilst upload is reduced at 13Mb/s. Jitter is increased at 12ms as is latency at 56ms. Signal in the smallest room is -98dBm.

    86/22 currently (indoors). (4GEE).

    Completely variable by location though.

    Re: QOTW: How fast is your mobile Internet?

    At home I can't really even make a reliable phone call and I have been on all networks over the years. On Virgin/EE now and have seen 25ish on 4G at times in various places.

    350/50 Austria,but at my home I don't get more than 30 Mbps down. Outside I see often 100+ and sometimes 200+. At home 250/50.

    My home speed is around 50-67Mbps, my 4g is around 92Mbps

    Re: QOTW: How fast is your mobile Internet?

    4G on Three Mobile varies widely. In my office at home, it's about 22-23Mbps down and 10 up with latency typically between 29ms and 45ms. In comparison, my wired FTTC connection typically gets at least 60Mbps down and 15-20Mbps up with latency typically around 7ms or so.

    My wired internet is unfortunately as far as I can get in my area without going to Virgin, which I refuse to ever do. I'm just waiting on FTTP/FTTH to become available in my area, so I can make the switch.

    With regards to 5G, I have no intention of using mobile internet to power my home internet. I'll only consider it for mobile purposes when the technology is as mature as 4G.

    Re: QOTW: How fast is your mobile Internet?

    8mbps on Three if I'm lucky. Landline is better at 20mbps. It would be less funny if I didn't live in a town a few miles from Southampton. Other networks apart from EE are worse or non-existent. EE is about the same as three. Communication infrastructure in this country is a joke to be honest - it's the sheer patchiness of it all that is so damn awful! Go to the other end of the estate and I'd be nearer the Openreach cabinet, less in the shadow of the hill for 4g and I'd double my numbers easily.

    Re: QOTW: How fast is your mobile Internet?

    It varies .. I tried using mobile for fast broadband and it was rubbish (4g) speeds were between 20/0.5 mostly, going down around 1-2Mbps but so jumpy it was unusable. back on std B/band slow but sstable
