Not sure it will be an option now, as my dad has recently decided that mobile tech is too unreliable to use for internet access, plus he doesn't like the idea of paying for the landline seperately. He thinks this because on his phone with a PAYG O2 sim (with remaining credit on), the signal is almost non existent in our house. It's very good on Three, however.
Is it true that the signal may be too unreliable for regular use? If the signal is good /very good (say around 58-62 ASU, as I got in earlier testing) on the router, is the connection ever likely to drop?
Is there a 'magic number' (such as dbm, or ASU), which virtually guarentees that the 4G router connection will remain fully functional and stable? Are latency spikes an issue, or is the latency likely to remain around 50ms all the time?
Does anyone find internet access with a 4G router too unreliable? Is it worth considering an external antenna, or internal window antenna for greater reliability, if there are problems?
Or, should I just stick with a reliable wired Internet connection?
