A couple of years ago I moved home and had the bright idea of using 5g broadband to save a few quid over getting fibre connected but I never achieved the speeds I should be getting. I cannot get any more than 30Mbps over 5g. If I put the sim card into my phone and do a speed text whilst sat right next to the router I can get 500Mbps+.
My router is a Huawei CPE Pro 2 and upon realising that my speeds are bad I send the router off for a partial modification which has given me a couple of external antenna ports. To those ports I have a Bluespot mini 5g antenna mounted to the side of my house. I'm fairly close to a mast and the antenna is facing the way it should be. The post code is S6 1AL.
Still my speeds remained the same. I contacted Paradar for some advice and they asked me to show my signal strength with the antenna attached and detached, which are below.
Paradar tell me that my signal was fine without the antenna so that was a waste of money.
In case it was a network problem I switched from Three to Vodafone - the same problem remains.
Could anyone shed any light as to what the problem could be? I'm losing the will and the few quid I was looking to save on fibre has been heavily outweighed by the money I'm wasting on hardware.
