Hi, I currently have a 50mbit fixed wireless internet connection. I host my personal website, and also access my devices/servers with guacamole, mstsc, and anydesk. Everything is extremely slow and laggy, so i was thinking about upgrading my wan speed.
When I asked my ISP whether i can get a better internet speed, they told me that there is currently no wired or fibre connection available at my location. They told me that they can do their best to upgrade it to 80mbit, but that is the maximum I can get with fixed wireless. They also told me that their transmitter can support a maximum of 8 receivers, and my receiver is the 8th, so i cannot get another wireless receiver and/or combine them together.
I’ve also asked other ISPs, but they told me that their supported maximum with fixed wireless is 50mbit…
I’d be really glad if someone has any ideas. Thanks
If you’re out in an area with no cable / fiber connection, you are at the mercy of your WISP infrastructure. Period. Their node (tower radio) is probably a few miles away and there’s only so much one can do.
LTE / 5G might be an option, but is likely slower and worse latency.
Either a) contract fiber to your place for $50k-$100k B) live with what you have C) move.
With a 8 SU limitation, sounds more like a 802.11ad solution is in use.
Probably. OP is probably at long distance and 80mb (of actual throughput) is probably being optimistic.
