    NETGEAR 4G LTE Modem – Instant Broadband Connection | Works with at&T and Alternate Carriers (LB1120)

    • Sometimes, I even exceed the download/upload speeds that I am currently getting via the local cable monopoly with their lowest cost subscription.
    • I previously bought a Huawei B890-66 LTE modem which is alleged to be L700 compatible but speed was
    • As a matter of fact, we have DSL at our home and the maximum speed available to us is 12 Mbps!
    • What this translated to using my current setup was this: after they throttled the hotspot speed, I ran Speedtest on my iPhone while connected to Wi-Fi and was still getting great download and upload speeds (no throttling noticed).
    • The real useful download speed (i.e., when pulling a large from from an internet site) is much slower, at around 0.5 Mpbs
    • I got an external antenna seems to improve the speed a bit too, so I recommend that.
    • That's 5 whole revisions ahead...in simple terms, that means much faster speeds supported with the same quality of connection
    • plus I can wire my arlo security cameras and hardware smart TV for better speeds
    • I am thinking of getting a T-Mobile CelSpot (which T-Mobile currently provides for free with a deposit) to see if I can reach 4 or 5 bars on the router to see if that further improves my internet speeds
    • My speed is adequate at around 14mb/sec down, 1-3mb/sec up with 2 bars of strength
    • Works well, was able to use an external antenna to get a strong connection to cell tower and obtain reasonable speeds.
    • I am in a very underused LTE market and get great speeds, but my speed has been even better with this device.
    • Already I was getting better internet speeds than with my current DSL service
    • this thing's top speed where I live was about 8Mbps up
    • However, the slow speed probably has more to do with T Mobile
    • Speed is great and has been 100% reliable since I put in service about a month ago.
    • Update 30 Oct 2017:I have bad news for those of you on the T-Mobile network:The T-Mobile network seems to recognize this device as a hotspot/tethering device, and throttles the speed accordingly
    • However, it's interesting to note they do not throttle LTE speeds on your mobile devices, just your Hotspot speed.
    • I've done several speed tests, and from 270 feet away out at my son's bus stop, I get speeds as fast (or faster) than if I had an AirCard in my pocket
    • It also seems to be smart enough to recognize that you are running speed tests (against any of the popular speed test sites)
    • Avoid it!Purchased for office use last Christmas with the recommended antenna for this model, Installation was around January 2018, didn't use it much, during the mediocre speeds, intermittent signal, and dropping connections
    • and now I got fast enough internet speed on my laptop and iPhone even with 3G speed.
    • T-Mobile says that they may limit speed for tethering (which
