I am thinking about replacing unifi 100mbps to Umobile 5g , since high chance to have higher speed for less.

1. I tested the line on iPhone , seem 5g only work outdoor / open window. Do you all place the modem indoor or using outdoor external antenna ?

2. Seem my housing area have max speed around 300+mbps , but at some area (near kl) I manage to get 1gbps, so 5g is cell tower speed dependent on max speed ?

actually, yes and no to the 5G signal strength, I got 5 bar 5g, I get 300mbps, but if I have 3 bar, I still reach the same speed (tested by phone).
Might mean, 300mbps is easily minimum speed of the 5G signal.

well still work out cheaper than Unifi.

I am new to 5g, does rain = no 5g? seem to drop signal from 5 bar to 1 bar, 300mbps to 30mbps?

suddenly Astro ads ring a bell, while Astro used to have no signal during rain.
Now 5g turn to die while raining.

So anyone with 5G router can comment on the performance during rain ? Since it is not cheap, doesn't really want to get one just to test it out.
