I just envy James' speed. Out here in the sticks its all FTC and we get about 30/5 on a good day. It's OK for download and streaming but not good for any video call/cctv upload back. Although I do need to investigate options for getting off of Sky as their modem/routers aren't that great but you get tied in with VOIP over them, so not so easy to swap out.

Sky have their own equipment within the exchange so it is not just swapping over a router, alterations have to be made in the exchange

Nah, mobile signal is carp as well!!

I recently did a 4G system as BT could only offer 4mbps fibre. Very poor area for mobile signal as well but by using a 4G aerial in the attic and having the router adjacent they consistently get 50mbps download. Luckily the people I was working with had sims for all four networks so I was able to experiment to see which network gave the best result.

I used a tp link 4G router and four of their Deco jobbies around the (v large) newbuild to give good coverage pretty much everywhere
