Home Wireless 4G speed issues?

[Tigers1719]

Is your mobile phone with Optus? If your facing the closest tower what download speed do you get?
Have a look at rfnsa.com.au put in your suburb, city, town etc and use the filters to get Optus 4G, Optus 4G + and check the frequencies on the nearest tower.
I am wondering if the modem is the issue?
When the agent reset your account, I assume they got you to reboot the B525?

Yep.. mobile as well and its equally as poor.

Speedtest a moment ago

on Mobile = 2.87MBPS 

Broadband = 0.43MBPS

been on the phone to Optus past 3 hours and they are agreeing to send a new modem. They can not fix the issue. Speeds have been <1MBPS then up to 3MPBS for 5min then down.

Thats a great site. closest tower 1.8k away

• 4G 700MHz, 1800MHz, 2100MHz, 2600MHz
• 4G+ 2300MHz (which I have the modem set to)

But Optus tell me I am connected to a tower 6.5km away?

They have agreed to replace the modem

Hi fufizewo,

As Tigers1719 has suggested to the OP, after doing troubleshooting it's best you contact Optus directly. You may need a replacement modem.
