Any suggestions on how I could improve my 4G BB speeds?

Speed test results via same server:

MacBook directly connected to router:


PING 81 DL 42.79mbps UL 2.37mbps

Internal iMac connected via WiFi to 4G Router:

PING 103 DL 23.26mbps UL 1.13mbps

iPhone 11 Test outside 4G stood facing masts location below the antenna (WiFi turned off)

PING 92 DL 4.87mbps UL 7.89mbps

If I could get the router speed around the house and increase the UL speed to where it was previously I would be a happy man!

Odd results, not sure if its applicable but when my directional antenna is not pointed directly at the mast then I get upload speeds better than download speeds. I know now that it needs a bit more tweaking and I am off by a couple of degrees. The download improves but the upload remains at the same level. Could be a reflection from some trees or just the way the transmitters are located on the mast.
 
Yeah the results are just all over the place, there's no consistent pattern - I can't get my head around them at all... I'm at a loss here I'm afraid
 
I was just about to hit the 'buy' button on a B818 via amazon but the only stock seems to be a Indonesian version :(

(I had hoped to buy via amazons prime as if for some reason it didn't help I would easily be able to return.)
@devs I had a look and it seems like you shouldn't have an issue with the Indonesian version. It does support the English language and it also supports all the right bands. I'd go for it.

Only thing I would add to this is ensure once you receive it and whilst the returns window is open that it supports all of the features you'll need. The Indonesian provider may have had certain features in the firmware removed like the UK ones have.

Check for bridge mode, DNS settings etc. in case you ever want them in the future. You won't be able to change the provider configuration later on.
