Hi experts,
I recently took the plunge to buy a CPE Pro 2 from Amazon (Efones). This was to replace my CPE Pro that is locked to Three.
After a number of months smooth service, my CPE Pro and 5G service with Three has started becoming a little unpredictable. I had a text a number of weeks ago from 3, to advise there was some work happening on my local mast, and there may be some service interruptions. Interestingly, also on my VF mobile contract, I got the same message. So assume they share the same mast!? To note I never had VF 5G signal at home at this point, only 4G. After works completed, VF continued to send the odd message over the next few weeks letting me know of further works with apologies. 3 sent no further updates. We did get the odd time of things going slow and complete outage, but it wasn't that bad. I also noted there were some significant ground works happening locally to me with Instalcom, may have no connection. But seems like coincidence.
Anyway, since all these works have completed. I have gained a new, but not very speedy VF 5G signal to my mobile. Though my 3 signal to my CPE Pro seems to have gone unpredictably unstable. It suddenly can lose up speed, or be seriously laggy. Though then the next minute be great again!?
I am connected to the old Relish mast that I believe (reading what you guys post) is connected via microwave array. So know the backhaul is going to be poo. Though I don't get the sudden change from being stable to not being reliable.
I bought the CPE Pro 2 to see if this improved my connection and to also test my VF sim. Firstly the VF sim seems to be very laggy in comparison to 3 signal (10's of ms verses 100's of ms!) which isn't what I'm looking for obviously. Though am aware that VF have just got planning for a new 5G tower locally, so must still be rolling out?
With the 3 sim in the new CPE Pro 2. There was a speed improvement of about 15/20%, down & up. Which was great. I know where i can get the best signal in the house and it always rates at 90 (5G) & 80 (4G) on the inbuilt signal checker. Even though I don't have a clear line of sight. Though for some reason the new Pro 2 seems to lock up every 24hrs or less? Also seems to be much buggier! The firmware is up to date. Is this a know issue with 3 Sims does anyone know? I am ready to send this blasted thing back!
Cheers in advance and sorry for the essay
