Need to replace Broadband cable supply with wifi Halo2.

[Frosty75]

I have Broadband supply via very old unreliable copper cable which gives me speeds of well under 20Mbps. Recently BT supplied a wifi mini hub again, on a temporary basis.  But only  while  the wired connection was repaired.

The difference was significant achieving over 40Mbps.

Has anybody had the same problem? 

And what was the outcome?

With  BT allowing me to use wifi mini hub instead of  a very  old  copper supply wire. At least 50 year old. No chance of fibre as I live outside a village.

many lines are as old as yours and work with no problems  if you dial 17070 option 2 your line should be silent and best with corded phone

Thanks for response Climjolly. Dialled 17070 and had a "silent" response. Does this mean my copper line is working OK.?

[imjolly]

yes if quiet line test was as it's name suggests quiet/silent then your phone line is good and should not cause broadband problems

BT sell the mini hubs but they don't have unlimited usage, so if you're a heavy user this option might not benefit you.

Have a look at the 3 plans currently on offer at https://www.bt.com/broadband/4g-hub

Try copying the link without the https://, if you use the www.bt part onwards the page loads ok, possibly the forum formatting.

@RobbieMac 

it's the link:

https://www.bt.com/broadband/4g-hub works fine... but the other link had extra letters at the end

Richie Your reply hits the jackpot, as having a faster WiFi when using the mini hub on a temp. basis, after losing wired Broadband (strong winds broke connection on telegraph pole.

I will see if I can go from Halo2 to 4G Wifi hub.
Thanks for link.
