Hey guys, just recently upgraded to 4G broadband from 2degrees from a DSL copper connection giving me 1-2 MBPS.

 

Doing some tests, I have peaked at 100mbps. My question is what speeds should I expect? Can I get higher then 100?

 

Also, the speeds are inconsistent. Some times im peaking 10MBPS, so my other question is, is this based on network load and is this to be expected?

 

We are rural, although my router shows 5 bars (all bars) signal, can I get better speeds with an external antenna?

 

 

 

I am finding that the router is very impacted by where I place it for speeds. I have placed in the area I am getting the best signal.

 

 

 

Thanks for the help.

Your speeds are dependent on network load - with 4G this can be all over the place.

 

Considering you're nearly at "full signal" I don't think you're going to be able to achieve much. You'll note they don't specify a speed with rural broadband as it is 100% best effort.
