Mikrotik on a random sat dish

Hi,

Just noticed Mikrotik have released a new wonderful LTE router that you can simply put in an old sat dish. Wonder how well this would work in an old Sky dish.
Anyone tried this yet?
A bit gutted they only support LTE cat 6...

 
Should work well if you point it in the direction of your mast. But you're mast-2-router signal is only half the equation.

You can have a "perfect" signal strength, yet high contention on your mast coupled with a lack of back-haul bandwidth across the carriers core can still give you really slow speeds.

If the UK's 4g was initially implemented to provide the speeds it was designed to provide the UK would be in a far better position with its 5g now. Sadly all the carriers scrimped with the back-haul and core network parts. None of them invested anywhere near enough over the years to enable the benefits of each new technology as it emerged. The outcome is we are left with a sub-par 4/5g system delivered across the entire UK now which will never reach anywhere near its theoretical speeds its designed for.

Take 4g, probably good for 300Mbps, now they're struggling to get 5g to provide what 4g should have (when 5g should be good for 10Gbps.)

Wonder why that is?
