So could that be why my IP address can be anywhere in the UK then? Because its where each specific pipe on the mast terminates?

So with 3g,4g and 5g you are effectively just paying for the router and mast hardware, the actual connection to the internet from the mast onwards can be provided by anyone?

Nope, the connectivity from the mast isn't direct to the internet, but to the network core. This isn't just an ISP, telephone calls have to be handled as well.

Also people expect to be able to move around whilst using their devices to make calls or watch video etc, and there is a lot of technology involved in this.

I am looking to use the MR600 with a sky box for on demand stuff . Do you know if the mr600 and or B535 work with this ? And also if it’s possible to change the MTU on them (mobile broadband side not Wi-fi)?

Many thanks!

New here, found this thread searching for MR600 vs B535 as my two shortlisted best value options.

Wandering about the status now in 2023 in regards to firmware updates and overall performance.

Does it still make sense to go for any of these two or is this now old tech (as some comments up thread were saying Cat 7 was old tech back in 2020), in such case what should I be looking for?

My area is covered by 5G masts from Three and I'll be using a Smarty SIM but I didn't find good value on 5G routers as 4G+ will meet my needs.

Many thanks in advance for your help.
