Point taken. I wonder if ubnt's revolutionary announcement will be LTE kit for fixed access and mobile access. Although that wouldn't be revolutionary. We'll just have to see what they announce on the 16th.

[re: deleted] [link to this post]
 
So today it was installed. I am getting 26 down 3 up.
I saw them get 30 down on a speedtest, but i am not currently getting it. 26 is currently fine for me. I am happier with the upload though.

I will just use it the same way that i use my current BT connection and see if i get notified if i need to upgrade my package.

It came with an external aerial and the Huawei LTE CPE B222s-42 wireless router.
To keep my current dd-wrt router, i just needed to enable the DMZ on the new router.

Now, i need to enter into the world of reading up on voip providers. If anyone has some good reviews on voip providers, i would be happy to hear.
Thanks

Which speed test?

Some speed tests and technologies can create burst speeds that are faster for very short periods of time.

The last one was using yours.
The installers used a different one. I cannot remember the name of it now.

Considering i was getting 4.5 down and about 0.4 up, it is currently looking good.

I asked the guys who did the installation who they use for their own voip, and by the sound of things, they may be dropping their own voip product soon.

The phone issue is probably the biggest problem that i have at the moment. The Mrs doesn't really use a pc, but she uses a phone like it is an intercom. I have been reading over in the voip threads about what products they are using.

Basically i need a corded phone for the mrs. It'll probably be power over ethernet. Otherwise i will try and get a landline number to ring on our mobiles, but a corded phone would be best for the mrs.

Decisions Decisions.

The fixed speed for the tbbx1 suggests a possible rwin issue. As for high speed on other test see how httpx6 is wandering around. Means tests may give varying results

So should the Avg TBB speed be pretty much the same as the x6 http speed. Or is there always a big difference. Regarding rwin, i have not changed this for years, and never on a mac.

If on a mac double check speed with chrome due to some possible flash oddities

Yes the two averages should the same and a nice horizontal line. Most other testers dont show the lines so its not obvious if things are variable

All tests have used chrome. I have just carried out another test, here it is below.

The lines are not flatlining but i am not complaining. Maybe this is normal for 4g wireless.

It is noticeably better than what i had (at the moment it is anyway)
