Imminent house move has thrown up a little problem. Broadband is reportedly terribly slow. Anybody know of a way round this? Heard of satellite or i phone etc.

My brother suffers from the same problem out in the sticks. Someone a few mikes away has paid a lot for a satellite link or fibre or something but has then set up a business linking everyone else local for £100 a year each or something.
Works great and he is between wooded hills etc.

For clients we use 4G routers Huawei.
Most have the usual 4-port Ethernet and WiFi etc.
Obviously relies on a 4G coverage.

This is of no use whatsoever but... In my apartment, there was one dedicated hardwired supplier, internet and landline (never used) was, at PHP7,000, just over a hundred quid a month and notoriously unreliable. When we moved it was, "The hell with that". On a tip from a mate, I now have a pre-paid SIM card router via my mobile provider. The best deal is PHP50 for three days, 500, or less than a tenner a month. It rocks happily along, with only Philippine problems (e.g. no signal during Pope's visit - when telcos were ordered to shut signals) to deal with. Very happy. See, told you it was no use.  |

Speed varies depending where I am, but my trusty MIFI (mobile wifi hotspot, ie rechargeable battery with dedicated sim card) is reliable as long as I'm not in a blackspot for mobile coverage. It's an older version and used 3G when it can, dropping to 2G as a last resort. See if newer versions use 4G / 3G ? Or pick one up as a cheap backup until you get something permenant ? Mine is made by Huwai, runs on the 3 network, and costs £30 for a 3 month top-up. A random web review www.mobileindustryreview.com/2014/06/the-next-generation-3-mifi-from-huawei-brilliant.html  Edit 1 : thanks Nathan - do you have any links to the newer 4G kit (it sounds like an upgrade to the 3G kit I've been using for the last few years) , maybe ideal for me and OP  Edit 2 : Google says the new thing (Aug 18) from Huwai is a 4G MIFI call "AI Cube" with built in speaker, Alexa, etc. Sounds interesting |
