Is congestion common on SMARTY 4g network?
I've just joined the unlimited data SIM plan as I'm looking to buy a 4g router to use as a home broadband through tethering. I've plugged the SIM into my phone for now to test the connectivity, but the 4g seems inconsistent and is dropping out occasionally, leaving me with only H+. Hotspotting from my phone to my laptop is also looking inconsistent, with connection to the hotspot wifi dropping in and out. Looks like I'm getting a max of 15mbps download speed when it is actually able to stay connected. Customer support chat said there was congestion in my area and that was the reason for connectivity issues. They said engineers are aware and working on it. Question is, is this going to be a consistent problem? As if I'm planning on using the SIM for home broadband the poor connection is obviously unsuitable.
