Cable Forum - View Single Post - Using a SIM instead of standard broadband

I was wondering if someone could step by step walk me through how I can check whether 4G is going to be better than wired broadband for our new home? We're being quoted extortionate prices for an average of 10mbps with only BT or Shell as the available providers. I got a Three home broadband kit for our last place that is 2 minutes down the road as they said they didn't offer it at our new address. My plan is to test it out to see if we can get useable speeds - however I'm getting really variable speeds, from 23mbps download at best to 1 at worst, leaving the router in exactly the same spot! Apart from streaming services, mainly on one TV, we don't do anything else that requires huge speed.
