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
What you describe actually sounds pretty good for a WISP. Often speeds are much less than 50Mbps with wireless providers.
Also the fact that they tell you the transmitter on their tower is at capacity (8 connections) is actually a sign of a good ISP. Some WISPs will keep piling on the customers even though their towers are way over capacity, then everyone’s connection suffers greatly as a result.
What is your upload speed? I’d wager that’s what’s really limiting you here.
