Ahmad Toutounji wroteHello guys do you recommend "Residential Broadband" from touch or alfa, and is it worth it to get a router for it? Will the signal and speed increase compared to an average smartphone?
I want to replace my slow dsl and i wonder if this is a good option.
If you are getting a good signal on your phone then residential broadband should work fine. The speed you would get is similar to what you get when you turn on a hotspot from your phone. A router is preferred if you intend to use the service all the time because keeping a hotspot turned on would drain your phone's battery. It will not give a faster speed but it will give better coverage. You can choose to use a battery powered portable router that might have less coverage and allows less users to connect simultaneously. With a fixed router you get more coverage, more users can connect and you can hook it through ethernet cable to your old network.
I have data sim which is similar to residential broadband but has higher charges. The router I use is a portable router not bought from touch. I wonder if we can use a router not bought from touch for residential broadband.
