we have a Three 5G router. we are on the 6th floor with line of sight to 4 5G transmitters.
the router wifi is not very strong in our flat with concrete and blockwork walls so use it in modem mode with a linksys mesh system. currently getting 450mb sometimes it’s more but never seems to dip below 250.
it’s cheap at £20 plus vat and that’s for a rolling one month contract. the app is pretty basic and getting the modem mode going was fiddly but found the info online (i’m not a IT person).
only outage was the big one that took down most of the system a few months ago.
We now have community fibre in the building but i’m in no rush to swap.
If you put your postcode in on Three website it may not show you the 5g router as being available if they think you do not have coverage, my old flat up the road is technically out of range but I used it there with slower speeds, they do like to be near a window though.
the new router might be better, mine is the older square one with the black top.

anyone using 5G broadband from anyone? any recs? I already have unifi gear so would want to use it as a modem only.
my house can only get over the phone line connection (no fibre, no virgin etc) and our speed has gone from ~60 to ~35 and no one can seem to fix it, nor did switching to a new provider fix it either
