QoS - finding out Total Bandwidth

Hi

Have just set up a Deco router with a 4G EE sim (and a couple of other Decos linked by ethernet). Everything working fine and I finally have stable WiFi coverage despite the stone walls of the old part of the house. Sorry - not relevant- but its a success story!

My problem is I need to know the total bandwidth from EE before I can set up QoS. This may be a simple thing to others. a dumb question, but I cannot find the info in My EE. Anyone give me any pointers to where I could find the info or what numbers I can reasonably put for download/upload?

Thanks.

Mobile networks don't provide a definite bandwidth like fixed BB does. All you can do is take a few speedtests & average them out.

 

It beats me how a router can share out a bandwidth it can't even measure itself.

Thanks @XRaySpeX - will do that. 

 

The router works for me but does seem a bit short on tweakable settings compared to previous ones!
