5G Broadband

[Lighthouse]

Anybody use this as an alternative to traditional fibre broadband? My current deal is coming to and end, wondering if anyone had personal experince, good or bad, of 5G routers, such as Vodafone's Gigacube.

A Starlink mini would be my choice. You can use it at home and also stick it in your car/camper and take it with you, to provide a reliable internet connection at road speeds of up to 65mph while providing download speeds of up to 100 Mbps. A month to month contract means you can cancel at any time and sell the dish if it doesn't work out. I run a pretty extensive network on my Starlink with over 40 clients from cameras to PC's getting speeds as below.

Download Speed:      241.66 Mbps  
Upload Speed:               9.00 Mbps 
Latency (ping):                  23 ms

U|kraine loves them!

Agree with GM. Cheaper alternatives are available but none better than starlink.

If only we voted Corbyn in we’d have 5gbps across the whole country and it would be free

Starlink are very decent but not the cheapest.

I currently pay £25 a month for fast fibre with Toob. Been with them for some time now, I’m well into my second 18-month contract with them and the price is the same as when I joined. Service has (touch wood ) been very good up to now, DL speeds decent (250 Mbps on the WiFi, much quicker with a cable, think I got up to 800 or 900 when it was installed).

I'm right near a toob mast so get blazing speeds as you do. I just really like the versatility of starlink that I use at work.

Running in parallel with the popular high speed racing unicorns that can also deliver messages.

Yeah. There's a fund on the Guardian to support the conflicting, exploding heads should there ever be another trial.

As my original provider got taken over, I've just stayed. I don't think I'm saving much or have a great deal. But it's reliable and works fine for me.

We tried the 5g on 3 and found it very patchy. On a good day it was excellent, far better than our fibre on sky, put atrocious at other times so we've stuck with fibre. My daughter has it though and uses a router from marketplace (genuine 3) and a £15 unlimited data smarty SIM and thinks it's amazing. I'd say try it and bin it in the cooling off period if it's no good for you.
