topic Upload speed in Mobile Broadband

Upload speed

I have a netgear Nighthawk 5G mobile device connected to an external antenna which is roof mounted. I get 60 to 120 mbs download but upload speed struggles and goes to nothing most evenings. I am trying to teach students via Zoom to need reliable upload speeds. Why is the speed to variable? I am in a rural area with no broadband options. Thanks

Hi @Eduardo57

It could be traffic or it could just be the network. Mobile strength is highly unreliable and can be impacted by many different factors. This is why you don't get guarantees like fixed line broadband.
