Hi
We live in a valley in north devon currently have 1.5mb speed with BT (copper) and airband are promising fibre soon (been doing that for 2 years now). However, having read the reviews on airband we are not convinced they are now the answer so considering other options. We get ok mobile signals outside the house - weak 4G. No mobile signal in the house (walls are too thick). However up the hill behind the house (about 80meters at a guess), we get a cracking mobile and 4G signal - I can tether my laptop to phone, do video calls on teams etc without any problem. So we were wondering what you clever people have in terms of ideas on how to take advantage of that good signal that is available "up the hill" - We could still use BT but it is not strong enough for video calls and just about enough to watch netflix (all on ethernet cables). Also our tv signal isn't great on BBC especially so the least amount of interference the better. We would obviously have the challenge of getting power up to any antenna or sim but any advice you can give on where to start and what is actually viable given the distances would be great. (PS satellite not yet available either). thanks
