Hi @nortonp
Welcome to the community.
What does the coverage checker estimate your 4G coverage should be like in your area?
Have you tried moving the router to different areas of the property?

Fluctuating speeds can be indicative of the traffic levels on the network in your area varying. In other words, more people online and also using data in your area. Is your device reporting a consistent signal?
Which online TV services are you using? There may be options to reduce the quality of the videos if you're struggling for speed.

If the coverage checker is predicting that you should get a strong signal, it wouldn't also say that you won't get any service.
It sounds as though you could potentially be in a poor coverage area, but without knowing specifics (this is a public forum so I don't advise posting your details) it's tricky to be certain.
Do you get a better signal outside your home - are you only having problems inside?
