I’m currently on an out of contact vodafone FTTC broadband connection, which at 25/5mbps is lacking a bit most days – virgin media have expanded to less than a km away but don’t look like they’re going to be coming here anytime soon, so looking into alternatives – we get 5g signal here (according to the coverage checkers anyway) from both EE and Three. EE 5G broadband deals are rubbish value – £75 a month for 100GB? no thanks. But Three are doing unlimited data on 5g, 24 months at £27 (plus 50% off for the first 6 months, so £13.50), which is great value and only a few quid more than we’re paying now.
In a room with good reception, on EE 4G I get 40-50 down and 20-30 up, so fingers crossed the Three 5g signal is decent. Have ordered a Three payg sim to test the 4g on my phone and have asked a mate to do a drive by bandwidth test of the 5g on his phone 😀
I work from home with phone calls over voip and RDP so need a reliable connection, also PS5 downloads so more than 25mbps down would be really bloody helpful!
Anyone else on Three 5G home broadband who can share horror stories/insane speed test results?
Finally 5g is a possible landline broadband replacement, and it’ll only get better (or worse, as contention increases…).
