Hello all,
New here. I am in East London and get good 5G coverage around my area from all networks. I recently got a cheap mobile data deal with three so decided to move my home broadband to them as Virgin were charging extortionate prices.
I purchased a ZTE MC801A and stuck the sim in. Without an external antenna I’m getting decent speeds averaging 200-300mbps. However, when I’ve tested the sim outside in my iPhone speeds go to 1gbps+!
In the hope of achieving those speeds I also purchased a Poynting XPOL-1 V2 5G. However, the results haven’t been great. I was hoping you lovely people could tell me if I’m doing something wrong and how best I can get the most out of the antenna. I’ve tried in a few positions in my house (balcony, outside window, on top of roof) but not much of a speed increase. The uploads speeds have definitely improved with it but not download.
I’ve attached some screenshots of my area. My post code is E2 0QF. My property is marked with a red
on the images
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
