Home internet speeds extremely inconsistent and connection drops intermittently
We jumped on home internet service as soon as we heard about it. For a long time now, Comcast has been the only choice in Baltimore City and it feels like they squeeze city residents to subsidize low...
Thank you for the cellmapper website. very useful. I was able to determine to which tower my gateway is connected just by looking at the PCI # and the band. In my case only the secondary signal is a 5G. Most of the time the gateway does not even connect to a secondary signal. My speeds are as high as 150 at 2am but as low as 1-2 Mbps during the day.
For those who don’t know already if the band starts with n (ex: n71) then it’s a 5G connection. if it starts with b its LTE.
In my case I mainly get LTE.
The Gateway has a miserable firmware and I cannot get the functionality I need. Can't access my security cameras or NAS from internet because of no port forwarding. My VoIP phone does not work because the firewall blocks the SIP ports and there is no way around it. VPN works.
Frankly this service is not worth 50$
