Virgin know they are the fastest in some area's but there are now a lot of local ISP's that can take on the big boys. in London there is Community Fibre, in Glasgow there is Gigaair, in Edinburgh its City Fibre. most offer a very fast service, and are completely independent networks. ie nothing to do with openreach or BT. and can really take on the big boys are service and cost.

Hello, Alan! I opted for the 5G hub just before Christmas 2021, and it's fantastic. Iv'e had brilliant speeds although I have not done a speed test as yet. Also at the moment, (well it was in December) if you aquire one, they are offering a 32" television, or a Samsung crome Notebook 4 with 15.6" screen. I opted for the Notebook, which arrived a week or so ago. So quids in. By the way, I am in the east midlands.

that ping is shocking.

Hello, great video, just wondering about the antenna slots on the three hub would a directional or omni directional antenna get the the fast speeds if the hub was left on the floor near a window? Or increase speed if left on window, Also have you tested speeds with the hub left on the floor without external antenna?. Another question is about the contract what happens to the router at the end can you keep it? Cheers 🙂

Thanks for this. If I'm connected to this router with my smartphone that's on another mobile network, then if I make call will it charge on the Three tariff of the sim in the router?

Are the connections only stable inside the room that you’re in or does it reach into other areas of the house? Thanks

Thanks for the heads up Blizzard.

Now I have a 5G mobile phone SIM card ordered on three on its way and my question is would it work on that device do you know or does it have to have to have a designated data only sim ? Another way of asking is, can that SIM card that came with that 5G hub be used for a phone as normal ? Thanks for reviewing am seriously considering this as little did I know that there is now 5G in my area, have been playing around with 4G hubs and disappointed with the performance so could buy one those 5G hubs outright possibly and use the SIM card I have ordered, which is going to be a spare anyway unless I return it.

Hi WIFI coverage will depend on your house. And building materials ie my home is reinforced concrete as a result the WiFi doesn’t leave the sitting room. I have Ethernet cables going from a network switch to each room and WiFi access point in each room. You can use mesh ap’s as well but hard wired is usually better and quicker. I don’t mesh them as the signal won’t leave the sitting room so the ap in the hall won’t connect wirelessly. Etc. I use ubiquiti kit at home and for my customer installations. If your in London worth checking to see if you can get internet from community fibre the guys are great and connection is fast. I have heard that 5G in London is Terrible. On most networks. But worth checking to see what you can expect from three or any other provider before subscribing. Hope this helps. Cheers, Alan

Hi my kids play online all the time using this 5G connection. the only thing to check is coverage in your area. 5G isn't everywhere yet and although it's great if you can get it. I think 3 have a 30days gtd . but defo worth asking.them.

Think it depends on what your playing online, a good ping for gaming is from 40-60ms and preferably anything less than 100ms according to google. at home I am getting between 56- 62ms ping when i check it through the day. when I created the video I was in the office and right at the edge of the 5G coverage in Motherwell, it took a while to get a 5G signal as you can see in the video when I set it up at first it only get 4G, It will vary from area to area and isn't as consistent as pure fibre would be.

@@Alan2150uk wow I get a 2-6 ping. But I'm lan line with sky, most games you dont need more than a few mps to run it smoothly so the speeds ain't the problem I use up 30% of my speeds on QOS to resolve any latency issues. So anyone with just a 50mbps Internet and use 30% of that on a good router with QOS like the Netduma R2 and your latency issues are all resolved this router also helps lower ping. Dknt listen to Google. A good ping is 30ms and under this is perfect anything above isn't so good.

Hi Alan, thanks for this video, it's really helpful. I had a few questions which I was hoping you could answer: - How is the reliability and stability of the connection? Does it cut out often? - From what I've read, this is the same router as Vodafone offer for their "Gigacube" 5G product. Have you tried the Gigacube and if you have how does it compare? - Is it possible to buy this 5G router unlocked and then get a sim-only plan from Vodafone/Three/etc and put it into the router to get home broadband? Was thinking it might be a cheaper way to get 5G than going with the Gigacube/Three's Home Broadband? Thanks again for the video!

HI, Thanks for your comment, It's been very stable over the nearly a year of ownership and usage we average about 2.34 Tb of data usage. just down a speed test and got 465Mbps down and 29Mbps. upload it's stable and thats with kids on phones and 2x netflix running on 2 tv's in two rooms. it's quick enough for normal family use. not had a chance to test the Gigacube, but I am In the process of launching my ISP in Glasgow and not had much time latley. was considering posting video's about what I m doing if people would find it interesting.

Hey. I'm in the South Lanarkshire area in a place which gets rubbish fibre (30mbps at best). Went for this and when it arrived, first 2/3 days was getting 400-600 download. For the past week there has been no 5G light at all and no 5G signal. Been getting

My WiFi is on but the 4g and 5g light doesn't come on

I wasn't expecting much from this router tbh... i can hardly even get a phone signal from my flat.. i live 22 up on a high rise.. anyway i decided I'd try it for the 14 day period and within 1 night I'd already decided i would keep it.. having it sat on the window next to tv unit it returns over 150mbs download...consistantly without moving it at all.. i was truely surprised as i said because my phone doesn't pick up 4g let alone 5g.. my home broadband downloads ps4 games over about 3 to 4 hours on a 40 odd mbps line while this router did it in 35 mins... so am sold completely.. of course deciding to get this yourself you should do a post code check first..

Best thing todo it check out the coverage checker to ensure you can get the 5G coverage. and if you can it's worth getting. but that said, There are limitations to 5G, ie no external IP address. so you can't monitor home CCTV etc from it. as you can't port forward etc. but if your like me and just browse the web and the kids are online and watching netflix etc. it's perfect. It's out the box internet and it's good at the basic stuff only an issue when you want to do more Geekie stuff ie port forwarding etc. Hope this helps. Alan

I am in Scotland, Motherwell, 5G Coverage isn't everywhere yet, and is only in certain area's they need to upgrade the connectivity at the sites and also the radio's at the towers to be-able to offer 5G in the area. so keep an eye on it. the 4G speeds are a lot slower, before I had 5G I had a 4G 3 Router and was getting 22-50mb down at the most. so this is dramatically better and faster. if you don't live in a fibre area. My friend lives about a line up the road and he can't get 5G yet either. but keep a look out.
