I know we're off-thread but I thought I'd update on my 5G phone hotspot issue from last week. I spent the day using a 5G phone as my work connection. Spent the whole day speaking with students over Blackboard Collaborate, so a decent test of it. Used up 17gb of data in the day.
The connection was quick enough but it dropped out for 2-3 minutes about 4 or 5 times so that was a ballache. I was getting around 80mbps download and 20mbps upload, so not exactly blisteringly quick and not significantly quicker tham my 4G iPhone gets in the same spot.
I'm going to send it back to Virgin and give a 4G router from Three a go and if that's in the same sort of region speed wise but is more stable I'll go with that as it's only £11 a month.
