Hi.
I moved from Vodafones DSL Simply Broadband to 4G mobile broadband a little over a year ago. Speed is better than the DSL (which was painfully slow) but still not brilliant (usually less than 20mbps).
I don't know how this stuff works but I'm just wondering if getting a better router would improve speeds at all?

Cheers
