Hey and what a real long post!
I dont know what it is but the last time often saw things like this. Doctors having different opinion, or looking at the sales area... Unfriendly or/and no clue of everything!
Strange times.
Just had a call with our internet/phone provider. We always had cable for internet. One year ago the Box didnt work, so they sent a new one... With little bit more mbits from 20 before then up to 30, new contract, a little lower monthly price. But nobody told me before this is a Hybrid Thing and I dont like the LTE stuff. And not best it stands in the middle of the house. Not as installation suggested near a window.
Today I called to ask if it would work when I buy a Fritz Box.
"This doesnt work because of your band brought (right English word?) wich is maximum 28 mbits" but he could not explain me why!
I think it would be okay to have Fritzbox with 28?
Finally, as he only repeated the same again and I have no clue about those things, I just said okay and thank you.
Later the idea came up to check the connection.
This I Just checked with the phone (mobile internet off) and the computer with LAN before told me 10 and 9 mbits 🤔🤔🤔 still a very good speed for my concerns 😅 as I get older and slower 😅
Ups, long comment 😘 Sorry had to talk about.
Guess will have to ask around if someone here knows someone who can explain me.
Happy you can see clearly now again 🤓
You mean Bandwidth. To be fair, your speeds are not the best for streaming and online gaming. You can do those things, but for example, online gaming might be painful. I take it you have run tests like this from home on your PC/Laptop? https://testmy.net/country/at
Your speeds are determined by your Broadband provider (Not the router that you have in the house) and the infrastructure to your property. So, for example, if you're still on copper wire to the house, your speeds will be markedly slower than, say, Fibre. Then it depends on how far you are from The Cabinet. This is a box in the street somewhere that has all the houses in your street or road's phone lines.

And finally, how far you are from the Exchange. These can be anywhere and anything from a large corporate building to a small shed-like building tucked down a side street.
Now when you buy your Router or get given it as part of your plan by your provider, it doesn't matter what it says on the box; your speed is only as good as what comes into the property. Sticking it by the window won't improve things. What may improve the signal minimally is having the router as near to the line entry point into the house as possible. WIFI is irrelevant. Everyone gets conned by WIFI. All that does is allow you to connect to the Router without a cable, although if your router, like your phone, is 5G then you will get quicker data from the router to your device, but if the connection from your provider to your router is slow then it really doesn't matter how fast your WIFI is.
Cable (And Fibre) are a different situation. Those are generally pretty fast, and in the case of cable, none of the above comes into play, but with cable, your provider will limit your service as they want you to pay for differing levels of Bandwidth. In the words of a fairground ride: "The more you
screampay, the faster you go!"Hope that helps. 😊
Oh its not about the speed, all works fine.
Its about I dont like the hybride LTE Router I have to use now. Never was a fan of LTE. And dont understand why cannot use a normal Fritz Box Router.
Also the Fritzbox can do a lot more than the cheepy company box they sent.
I understand the Hybride LTE covers part of bandwidth for stability. And for this LTE Part is recommended to put the box to a window, not in the middle of a house. But it was stable before with only wire connection. So why do I need this LTE.
But dont worry about ❤️ better care for your eye to ger well ❤️
And thank you for the explanation
I'm not too worried about the eye; I have a spare. 😉 🤣
