**bleep** network

I’m using smarty sim in my wifi router, at the beginning it was fast about 120mb/s but is been **bleep** after the first one month. Can anyone recommend a better network for streaming? I wish I could attach screenshots of how long it was taking to load common community page still I swapped to my cellular data instead of wifi. Please which network is good for streaming.

    DavidAs_3691351​ I don't think it's possible to give an answer because your signal will depend upon where you live and on how many people are using the same mast at any point.

    This is the main reason why Smarty (and probably other networks) advise against using mobile data instead of broadband.

      The signal is full bar and green for 5G. If I new smarty was 3 network I wouldn’t have bought it. The only time broadband became better than mast is inventing fibre cable. Mast transmit and receives through waves and over crowding isn’t an issue but rather over crowding is and issue for cable broadbands. So what are you saying. 
      My area is not having tall trees or mountains to hinder waves and I am on the last floor of flat and router is installed buy the window. 
      stop manipulating with bandwidth at peak times just to save your asses. Unlimited data my foot. Unlimited but restrained flow.
