So, I cancelled VM (contract ends in 2 weeks) and ordered microwave broadband (guaranteed 40/10 for £16pm) and was told we were in an excellent location for it.
Long story short, they turned up today, fixed the dish to the chimney, wired it all up and got 3Mbit, but it can be upgraded in 2023 - so I made them take it all down and off they trundled with it.
So, Im left with finding a new provider as I don't really want to stay with VM unless I can help it, and Fibre here is around 22/2.5 and I need a decent upload for Plex and remote game streaming from my desktop as I spend about 130 nights a year away from home.
This got me thinking, I know Voda have a decent signal here, with 4g speeds of around 50/19, and with cashback, I can get an Unlimited Max SIM for about £23 a month effective.
So, does anyone have any experience of accessing Plex servers, Parsec or Splashtop through a Voda 4g connection (I know it's CGNAT)? Will they work, or will I need a VPN with static IP?
To be honest, Plex is the main requirement as Im also getting either a VBox or HDHomerun for Freeview recording, the rest of the use at home is browsing, email, Netflix etc, with some gaming thrown in, plus the obligatory Zoom calls.
Really appreciate any real life experiences.
