Hello,
So due to rising costs and landlord not giving permission to fttp ISP's permission to install to the building, I have bitten the bullet and decided to get a 5G router (MC801AA) and ID (Three) unlimited contract and would like your expert advice.
Location is N London and both ID & Three coverage checker shows good 5G outside but 4G good inside & outside. My street is just one strreet away from the all good 5G area.
My Vodafone mobile has 4 bars 5G indoors with good fluctuating sppeedtest results.
With my Vodafone SIM in the MC801A the mbps rate hovers betweeen 35-40 - just a bit higher than my broadband.
I haven't yet tried finding an optimal site for the router.
I have a satellite dish at the highest point of the building where it has clear line-of-sight to a mobile transponder site about 600/700 metres away. I don't know which network.
There is another mobile transponder on the opposite side about 300 metres away which I think is O2.
Some street work is being done near the O2 transponder which the Council shows linked to preparation for a 'telephone mast' - neighbours have said it will be a 5G mast.
My current question is what would be the best antenna to try and optimal connection cable to use?
The downlink cable from the satellite dish is around 20 metres long.
Can the 5G antenna link cable be bundled together with the satellite cable?
Thanks,
Mark
PS. Is ID/Thrree 'unlimited' really unlimited in the UK? (unlike Vodafone's 'unlimited' which now has FUP of 600gb)
