Hi, folks.
Can mobile wi-fi be used satisfactorily instead of a typical home internet connection?
The reason I ask is because I'm due to take out a new contract with our local (Jersey)provider, but I'm looking for a faster connection and they're rather frustrating to deal with.
Our building is wired with fibre, and we're on what's called Next Generation Network which has d/l speeds of up to 1gigabit, but trying to get any info about when I can have it is like getting blood out of a stone.
They've also just launched 4g wi-fi, with a claimed speed of 'up to' 42mb. That is tempting, bearing in mind the fastest I can get otherwise is 20Mb. But, having never used mobile broadband other than through a phone, I'm worried that it won't be terribly reliable.
It would be a bonus to have it when out and about, but my priority in the home connection.
Any thoughts? Ta muchly!
