Three 5G Broadband! Is it better than high-speed fixed-line broadband? 

I enjoyed this. I have theThree 5G Broadband. in the City where I lived was a great signal both upload and download speeds. When I moved home, the signal was not as strong, I no longer get 5G speeds, the download speed is more 4G and the upload speed is like 3G. The problem here is that there are a lot of trees in the area.

very helpful! Thank you for your time!

What a useful video. Thank you.

you dont have fibre broadband you have copper broadband with a fibre backhaul at the green box. fibre does not have slower speed on distance

I have got 3 5g mobile broadband a few months ago due to Virgin Media doubling their prices, my average speeds are around 500Mbs download and 80Mbs upload and it's costing me £20per month, I have their new ZTE MC801a WiFi 6 router, I also use a mesh system connected to the 3 router and I get uninterrupted WiFi around my house which is quite large. I would say that if you are a gamer then it may not be for you as the ping is higher than fixed broadband but still usable. So far I've not had any problems with the service. Good review from you.

I've had my CPE Pro for about 6 months and it works great for me. I would have no worries about recommending it.

Fyi, speeds are also defined/limited by sim card (plan), it is possible that your operator limits upload in your data plan (and not telling), I have real unlimited data so upload is 100mbps and more (I am far from bts and 5g is just developing here and do not want external antenna). 5g is the best connection ever, better than fiber because fiber providers put stupid upload limits here recently. And latency is also decent, not better than fiber but sufficiently low.

Thanks for your review. All I wanted to know in 7min 🙂

Undoubtably the future of broadband

IMO Mediatek is at the forefront of 5G connectivity innovation. Their broadband's 5G speeds can soar to an impressive 7Gbps, which is truly outstanding.

They acutally upgraded to the Pro2 and had much better stability but since the Huawei ban everyone is forced to switch to ZTE.

You have what is called FTTC, this means that its fibre to the cabinet but copper to the property. A maximum of around 40mbps

Are you able to configure the router? I.e. assign static ip addresses to devices on the local network, port forwarding, configure wifi settings etc?

Good video. I'm on 3 broadband but only 4g. Average speed 120

nice one

5G broadbands are seeing huge leaps now. Recently saw Mediatek has released some 5G modems for broadbands.

Just saying for the price section if you wanted to pay for the router and get a unlimited 5G sim only contract it could work out even cheaper

I got 5g cpe pro2 wich is great investement of money. You right speed mainly depend on the network provider, resctriction, but fairly three it's the worth network ever been with...

After being with Virgin on the ridiculous for 10 years, changed to three 5g. Very stable where I live. Not quite as fast as virgin( when it does work) but a lot more stable

awsome

Hi. Our new build property still only has copper broadband. Will the 3 5g hub cover downstairs and upstairs? And is it a good replacement from sky copper broadband sky is only 13.4ms speed. I need it for downloading gaming and streaming? I just want stable connection. With faster speeds than we currently have do you recommend

Upload speeds are 4G at the moment in the UK on 5G network

I would like to know is this is perfect device to work ? As I will be using office laptop which may have some CAD software which needs better connectivity. Currently I am using EE wired connection looking forward to change to 3 5G wireless connectivity

Just seen looking at their mobile broadband as I'm with Virgin and contract up for renewal it is over double what a new customer gets. I need something short term to tide me over. Any opinion on a short term broadband provider?

Kindly asking virgin media m100 or three 5g?? I Heard there are some works with three network near London that make me confused ...

How is it now? Any improvements? As I'm thinking of going with Three 5G as they say I have good coverage and will get 5G signal. Is it worth changing from fiber to mobile network? I have range extenders and very good ones around my home.

I get way much better speeds here in Nigeria! I love my country and I ain't emigrating to anywhere! I might telravel abroad for stuff but I am always coming right back here.We die here

For £30 1GB/s download and Upload speed. Constantly high speed. 5G can beet it.

I'm more interested in the ping while gaming with the 5G hub. Is it consistent or pretty laggy?

what’s soo good about 5g broadband connection versus your normal broadband connection?... I find the normal connection faster?

Hello thanks for making this video. I'm thinking about getting the 3 home hub because I've just bought a ps5 and I want to be able to download all my games that are like 100gb some and more and I want to play online aswell will I be able to. I live in a small room bedsit and will only be me using the internet for my ps5 and my phone will it be ok. At the moment I'm paying 25pound a month for Giffgaff goody bag that gives 80gb data and then slows right down once you reach 80gb which I did in the first day I got my ps5 with a game my months data was just gone in hours. So do you recommend this will be good for what I need thank you if you reply

Iv got this and the speed I get is excellent 380 to 410 mbps... i connected my PS5 download a game with in minutes. Played online street fighter, Takken and cod... excellent no problems at all, I then connect laptop, PC, and 3 phones to Netflix, prime video, RU-vid while all devices where playing, I connected my ps5 and played online I had no problems. Netflix on pc? Prime video on laptop, RU-vid on phones all playing at same time did not Lagg great signal.

Dude, do NOT confuse Magabits and Megabytes!

👍👍👍

compared to any fixed line broadband I had three home broadband is way way better

Do all your devices need to be 5G enabled, I'm on Virgin M200 at the moment and I'm wondering if the latency is lower and if I can get better speeds then 200Mbps

Thanks for the review, I'm honestly waiting for someone to connect this up to a 5G antenna and see what results they get. I get 500mbps minimum on my 5G phone outside my home, a quality 5G antenna will take away the necessity of placing the CPE by the window... As the signal will come from the Antenna. But just waiting on someone to do this. I'd recommend you stay away from those boosters too, they are so bad budget wise and quality wise compared to a gigabit mesh network. You'll pick up a Deco M4 or M5 between £100-£150 for a 3 pack, they are so worth it and really provide coverage all around your home, I've set up 5 in mine as my house stretches quite abit as it is three floors. If you decide to plug in a 5G Antenna I'd watch again for sure. I'd recommend you buy the CPE pro seperate too, a virgin 5g sim only deal is £25 a month unlimited data, virgin runs of EE, so as long as EE have installed 5G masts your speed will be drastically higher both download and upload.

Hey man, I'm moving to a city center and the problem is theirs no fiber to my property. How does 5G compare for gaming especially the ping side? I'd appreciate any feedback or updates to now especially if you're living in Birmingham, West Midlands (not Al).

I living in Dublin , here internet mobile is good , 3, 48, Gomo, eit , virgin , but in some house inside the signal is not good , speed no good, so different router is the same , the only option is broadband by not sim card , is like landline is better I'm had in other house virgin fiber , 250mb 5g , and the router working in 2.4 GHz internet speed maximum 40 to 80mb, and also 5GHZ internet speed everything about your contract in my case 250mb

My phone has 5g & the hotspot reaches all rooms. Though if there's more people in your house you may want something like this.

What about multiple devices? And multiple pc Xboxs gaming all at the same time ?

Mbps not MBps. But I enjoyed the video nevertheless

No its not, I had a good connection using the ZTE 5g setup for about 6 months and now its completely unusable at peek times. Same old issue, they will have over sold it and now the hardware cant handle to throughput leaving the customers fed up and wanting to cancel.

What is the phone port used for on 5g router?

mate when I am only offered 12Mbps in the countryside on so called 'fibre' 250 Mbps is insane haha

Are these routers locked to 1 network

Mega Bits Per Second NOT Megabytes Per Second

I bet your going to doube and triple check your "bits of Bytes" the time ;)

Why doesnt the hub 3 logo 🤔

Is it limited or unlimited?

It's not that good I have one if these boxes and can't wait till the contract ends so I can get a better broadband provider

mega BITs per second...

Just got the latest broadband 5G but its soooo disappointing. I can watch my firetstick but cant get Netflix or RU-vid. And its not very fast at all. Suppose to be over 2mbps. Im getting 38mb. So its an another joke with shit speeds just like TalkTalk i was previously with. 😡😡😡

Three are cheaper bwcause their connection is rubbish in comparison to Vodafone and EE

Fibre to 5G is not upgrade 😣

this is really unlclear when you are talking about coverage

04:30 20 MegabIIIIt per second but nnt megabYte per second if there is no differnce for there so no sense to broadcast this at all and mislead people

speed is measured in megabits not megabytes please learn that

No Google services with this Huawei made device. No G-mail, no RU-vid and no Google Drive. Why don't either reviewers or 3Mobile mention this???
