I'm enjoying my experience, but I anticipated the problems and kept my other ISPs. I've seen pings around 55ms at lowest. My other LTE providers are 70 to 95ms, and there is a difference.
I'm in rural NW Arkansas and I have two LTE providers plus Starlink. I'm not even using bonding - tons of things support multiple tcp streams, and those that don't it's worthwhile to have each ISP be fairly strong.
Worst case my speed tests will show 150mbit / 20mbit. Best case it's 300mbit / 90mbit. I do have the Starlink connection on a 5 second watchdog, so I will see 5 seconds of nothing when things aren't ideal, before the connection is retried over one of the other ISPs.
- rsynnott 5y agoHuh. That’s quite high for LTE, more what you’d expect of HSDPA. Are they definitely LTE? Just did a speed test on my phone’s LTE; 15ms, which is about what I’d expect.
- NDizzle 5y agoHey, sorry, missed this. Yes, it's LTE. One is T-Mobile's home internet product. The other is in a device I assembled myself, using an EM160G modem. ATT service. My ping is high due to my location. I "hit the internet" in typically Dallas, TX, ~300 miles away. Sometimes it shows me in Colorado, Minnesota, Kansas, and Tennessee. It depends on what the LTE providers want to do with me!
