I think I'll finally take the plunge and change my over the phoneline 8/1MB (which speed test tell is pretty accurate = 7.1+/0,7+ almost always) internet over the 4G LTE network 100/50MB internet. Altough the fine print says that it might vary between 5-80mb download and my friend has achieved 20+ with his phone, but thru modem it should be constant over 60MB, but we'll see... Price is same as current one, so at least it should be improvement. The modem has the same 4 ethernet connections as my current modem, but the new one has 4 1GB ones where as the old one had 1 1GB and 3 100MB ones. Modem also has 2 external antennas and closest 4G LTE tower is about 700 meters away over a pond so connection should be good. I'll get it early next week latest so I'll let you know the results then. Fingers crossed. |

Fingers crossed. --- End quote --- I want to do something similar here, but for us, the cost of that kind of setup is prohibitive. I'm hoping that the costs come down within the next few years. I hate my current internet provider, but I have not other choice for high speed right now. |

The prices here are quite good. The one I'm watching is 20 Euros per month for first year, 30 per month after that... but i think I can get better deal. Modem is price is 216 Euros but you can divide that to 12, 24 or 36 payments if you want without extra cost. |

But I've been saying for a while now that once that cost comes down I am done with my current provider. |

You're lucky! I pay for up to 20 meg. Fastest I have ever seen is 7.5 - usually between 4-6. Often drops below 2!!!!! We are the furthest point on the line, in the middle of nowhere - no cellphone reception. Router supplied is garbage, but cant use another, as it also gives our telephone, and some TV services (although we don't use the French TV service, as it's generally just trashy soap operas and bizarre quiz shows.) Added to that, we have other complications. We have 4 houses - over winter I ran Ethernet to each of the other 3 houses, to a wireless access point, giving them direct access back to the router. And as the houses are all stone built, with walls sometimes up to a meter thick, a number of boosters are necessary in our house, as the office is on the top floor, and the router on the ground floor. |
