Decided to give the Three 5G Hub Home Broadband a try.

Quite happy with this:



A bit of an increase from my 40/7 service with FTTC TalkTalk

Very nice, how close are you to the cell tower?

I'm 400 meters if they ever get around to installing it.

I saw the Northampton and was happy for a second, and then realised that's the test server  :lol:

Sorry about that!  ::)
I'm in Sheffield S25.  According to Google Earth I'm 506 metres from the cell tower.

They recently did work on the local tower here in S14, website still claims no 5G. :(

I guess I can pull 40Mbit from it on 4G (though right after I got the e-mail saying the work was done I was only getting 7Mbit), but its a little sad when I can pull 90Mbit off O2.

I've ordered a Voxi SIM as I believe that will be the same mast as O2 as its O2/Vodafone so should be interesting.  Getting a 24 month contract on Three was a huge mistake, but as is always the case it was performing better on my PAYG SIM before I got the contract than it was almost immediately afterwards I got the contract.

I'm thinking of a word I cannot say on a open forum right now!

LOL  :D

Actually beat that last night.

Hopefully I'll start a thread tomorrow, and detail my rather basic investigations so far.

You reminded me at least to cancel Three.  They offered me a discount with a new router, but sod getting tied into a new 24 month contract for a service I don't need.  I originally got it for portable use but initially the performance was pretty dire where I needed it and then the pandemic meant I didn't use it at all.

Going to try a few different networks on monthly contracts or PAYG just out of curiosity, to pass the time until FTTP rolls out and I get the vaccine (that combo would feel like winning the lottery right now).
