Hi, first post - I used to get ~1.8Mbps from a BT landline so switched out to 3 via. a TP-Link Archer MR200 a couple of years ago.
I get download speeds of anywhere between 10-20Mbps, ping times of 40-80ms and uploads anywhere from 10-30Mbps. I started thinking about buying an external aerial/changin supplier/changing router, then I found this website and discovered a whole new world! TO be honest I don't know where to start. Didn't really want to sign up to another 12-24month contract with another provider in case 5G comes nearby with someone else!
I had a look on a mast website but to be honest I was baffled....
My questions were:
1. Is there an app or website I should be using to find out how good current connection etc. is
2. Would I be better with another provider?
3. External aerial/different router any good?
My post code is TS21 2JG if that is of any help! Nearest 5G is about 15miles away but no holding out much hope for roll-out anytime soon!
Any help much appreciated
