I recently switched to a three 5G home broadband service. It has been like what has been described here in many discussions.. great when it woris 300-500 mbps, upload anywhere between 10-45 mbps. My area seems to be having some work done as part of the big build.. but this has been going on for a month now, with no end in sight or information. meanwhile the connection is up and down.
Today i am getting <20mbps - 80mbps and it is very flaky. However , i also have a 3 5G data sim in my iPad. This is easily showing 150-450mbps at the same time. Can’t understand this. Both devices are in the same location , by a window with clear line of Sight. The data sim is much more reliable and gives higher speeds more consistently.
The 3 support folks dont seem to listen.. they simply ask me to restart or reset router , failing which they will point to this network build , give me 5 pounds credit and ask to wait for 7 days. This has happened at least 2 times now.
Why is my 5G data sim giving me 300 mbps, while the 5G router sitting right next to it is giving me 5mbps ? Both on 3 . A restart of the router ( power recycle) will improve speeds to ~100 and then drop back to unusable speeds.
