My landline broadband rarely sees download speeds better than 5Mb/s, whereas I can generally get better than 20Mb/s on 4g with EE and 3, and more like 50Mb/s with O2.
I want to see if a 4g connection can provide a fast and reliable enough means of home internet access, to warrant ditching my existing landline.
I would be grateful for any pointers towards recommend hardware configurations. My current set up includes a BT Homehub 6 router and powerline wifi extender, which provides sufficient wifi coverage around the house. 4 devices are also connected to the router via ethernet cable. At some point, I'll probably port my landline phone number to a VoIP service, so need to also consider ATA options.
The Huawei B525 router seems to be popular, so would this be good place to start? Also, can anyone advise whether installing an aerial is likely to improve download speeds?
