Connection problems on my Huawei portable modem,
Phone sim running at 10mbps 4g, modem running at 1mbps 4g cant even run my game on my tablet at that speed,
That could be your problem - Smarty MOBILE is a value for money mobile phone service. Section 5.15 of the Smarty Mobile terms and conditions warns against using Smarty Mobile as a replacement for fixed line broadband, which the service was never designed to be. Looks to me as if you have hammered the data and you are being throttled, to preserve bandwidth for other users.
Time to pony up for fixed line broadband !
Surely with a data only plan they know it's going to be used in a portable modem so several devices may be connected to that modem which then bumps the usage up, not truly unlimited then is it if after only a week they throttle the speed back, I've looked online and it says they are having problems in the Newquay area and will be fixed asap, but still the same after 5 days of snail speed speed keeps fluctuating on our other devices 4g too
JamesWa_2265565 There's no suggestion that they are actually limiting you. The issue is that mobile data does not always provide such a steady signal - sometimes due to congestion, sometimes due to work on masts. Is the mast issue maybe linked to 3g turnoff?
Bit difficult to have a fixed line in a caravan, it's what we use on our holidays to be able to use our smart TV, if this is the case I'll be better elsewhere, I can understand throttling back but the the extreme that it's only running at 90bps not even mbps
