Hello everyone,
I am a first time poster here so please let me know if I am doing something wrong.
I recently decided to give a try to mobile broadband because my appartment doesnt have fiber and it hit very low speeds ranging from 15-20mb download with Sky broadband. Didnt think it could get any worse with cellular internet but I guess it could. I was wondering if someone can help me figure out if there is anything at all I can do to better my speeds.
The details: My router is GL x3000 NR
Provider : I have tried a sim with Smarty and a sim with EE (via scancom)
Should be noted in my location I can only connect to 4g+
Ive run probably over 100 tests on ookla speedest so far, not much variance.
with the smarty sim, during very early morning and late night I hit good speeds with around 25-50 download , 30 upload
Any other time of day, I hit 0.5-5 download, and 20-30 upload.
Thats pretty much unusable for my needs, I cant tell if theres something wrong with the router, if its because im in a busy area, or something else that I could do? Connection to the poles seem good enough according to the router. Here is my stat right now as I am writing this:
Band 3
RSRP: -85
RSSI: -55
RSRQ: -9
SINR: -19
I am very happy to provide any info I can, hopefully someone can help guide me a bit as I am growing desperate, just need to know if I should give up on mobile broadband for my situation right now and go back to the line.
