Did test at friends house with Poynting XPOL2 and Chateau, 2 masts 5km away, one north , other south, left bands on default at first, thinking it would pick best ones
first screen no band selected, B20 only, 3Mbps
2nd selected B3+20, 26 Mb
3rd screen selected B3, 50 Mb
all facing north
Find it very difficult to get the same speeds second time if aerial move a few metres pointing in same direction. Mounted on 2m pole.
What do people think is sufficent speed? At home on 20Mb, I was able to stream video on 5 devices.
Above were taken 4pm, reckon speeds half in evening. Friend has 5 teenagers so if installing for him and €350 for equipment I want it to be ok. Reckon want 50 MBps by day to be comfortable. These were all on 3 as hadn't known needed apns for vodaf and eir, all are on same mast location so will retest again.
I don't want to use the temporary bands as will be gone in April.
All opinions and comments welcome.
