Hi Guys,
I've read over the forum but not found enough to assure me that I'd make the right decision on my own so I wanted to start my own thread.
I'm moving to a house in a Scottish valley that has no broadband as the telephone lines are very very old and so is the cabinet.
The extremely lucky news is that there is a 3G tower near the house - maybe 1/2 a mile away with a line of sight from part of the house.
I'm not 100% sure without going back if the line of sight from the house clears the trees but it won't be far off.
I believe it's only a 3G mast and doubt it'd be getting upgraded to 4G soon so I'm after a solution that will give me rock solid 3G internet using an external antenna.
Requirements:
I use a lot of FTP for website files
The walls are very thick so I need an external antenna feeding to a router
I'm happy using homeplugs and external lan cables to minimise on antenna wire length
I'd like a router that comes highly recommended with no quirks
I'd be happy to hear what 3g provider offers best home mobile broadband I believe EE have a 20gb package that will suit but I know the antenna is t-mobile (so EE is good) and Vodafone I believe.
Any suggestions highly welcome.
The 3g signal in the garden just outside of where I'd be working is nearly a 20mb connection... if I get anywhere near that inside I'd be a very happy bunny.
Thanks
Alex
