Advice on a 5g Hub needed

[JoshBear1]

Hi All,

I am in a postcode where the fastest broadband is limited to 55 Mbps and whilst this is fine for most things I would like a faster speed for a specific thing.

I have just seen that EE 5G has reached my area and my coverage is show in the photo below.  Can I use the Smart 5G hub effectively with my PC where the sole use is to play Microsoft Flight Sim 2020 and soon 2024?   What sort of speeds should I expect from a Smart hub?   This game benefits from a fast connection hence my questions.    

Does anyone use the smart 5g Hub and 5G for gaming like this?

Thanks

Josh

@JoshBear1 Pic through now, you will need to check 3 for info terms and conditions etc. They are your new port of call but good luck with it all.

@JoshBear1 Same rules virtually apply for home or mobile broadband. If gaming best to use an Ethernet connection from PC to Router. Speed test's are what they are, foxy at times, they really do not push much data up/down so guidance for you only. If the device or the server struggle then Up/Down has to be looked at, bias is always down from the Internet, not really an ookla fan on the speedtest.net, fast.com is the same not a big fan of it either, they are functional but each to there own. I personally would always have Home over Mobile. Your 55mb/s not sure if you are on fttc/fttp service but suspect the former is not that bad, managed home is the issues with limited bandwidth no matter what. Your testing will let you know what is the right way to go. Good luck with it all.👍
