Assuming you have wired connections to begin with.
I live in an older apartment complex which was build in early 70s and there is only very poor copper connection, so I can get at most 8Mbs in through that. Slow speeds have forced me to look for alternative solutions and 4G LTE is the way to go here, it costs just shy of twice my old setup, but I get 80-100Mbs in and out, which is 10 times as fast, but being on 4G means I can need my router/modem/thing to be 4G enabled and while my main PC is connected to that router via Ethernet most of my devices use WLAN (things like chromecasts, phones, tables, and laptops).
Maybe I'm in very tiny minority here, but just saying things aren't always as simple.
- SG- 11y agoWell I'm not sure if you're the minority but you're not the target for this article or those that require a fast router for broadband speeds going beyond 100Mbit/sec along with several open connections at the same time.
- lucaspiller 11y agoWhat are your usage caps? A lot of ISPs in Europe offer mobile broadband for home (as LTE is usually a lot faster than wired), but have ridiculously low caps. I'm currently staying in a place in Italy which has Tre (Hutchinson), who have a cap of 30GB/month.
