New house - slow broadband, mobile broadband an option?

[Freakuk]

Just about to move house (mentioned in another thread). Looked at various deals for phone/BB and ended up going down the old route of BT. However their website (and others) all start by saying I'll get 67Mb speeds, but when it comes to ordering this drops to 7Mb (max)!!!

So I'm thinking of getting mobile BB, what kinds of speeds should be possible in comparison to a whopping 7Mb?

And given they'll be a number of devices connected via WiFi and wired what's the preferred kit?

As you've found, speed will vary on location.

I get 80mbps from my EE 4g dongle at home, but only 20mbps in London.

You'll also have to watch for the data caps which you can largely ignore on wired broadband - EE do a 50gb one for £30/month over 24 months, or a 500gb one for £80/month over 18 months...and everything inbetween. Or you can buy the '4g router' (EE or Huawei) for £100 and then do a monthly contract instead (for about a 30% premium on the lower tariffs).

Mobile BB is also signal dependent - if possible try and check signal strength your self rather than rely on an online checker.

an external 4g antenna will likely improve speeds
