I'm using this since I can't get proper fiber due to construction next door. Speeds has been solid, even slightly faster than advertised. Upload speeds are very consistent, download can dip below 100 sometimes. Placement of the modem is important to get the best mobile signal, the config page shows signal strength so you can experiment with location.

Haven't tried a third party modem since I don't want to risk buying one and finding out there is some restriction on the sim or there is no improvement in speed.

Not sure if the speed cap is sim card or device locked? If anyone has tried hacking the modem or using a different modem, please share your experiences!

I haven't tried a third party modem yet.

My latest speed after Yes introduced uncapped speeds.
