Most of the time it wont even connect.

The speeds you report are more than enough for Teams. I guess the problem you probably have is latency. It's a common problem for many WISP customers using set ups like Next.

On your second point, you would be surprised how many people have 300/600/1000Mbps using normal wifi routers and repeaters that won't even give 30Mbps if you're 1 room away from the router. The only way to make use of it is to install mesh or wired access points.

Lol I am not surprised......... I would be surprised to hear of anyone who gets even close to thier contracted 300/600/1000Mbps speeds on upload and download.

PS. For mobile data Movistar don't restrict Digi bandwidth. Last time I spoke with a Digi tech they confirmed their offerings were limited to 4g. It may well have changed since but practically it makes little difference anyway.

I guess you have signed up for Konnect Zen. If so the OP would have problems with it due mainly to latency but also potential throttling once the priority data allowance is used up.

Forget Starlink. It's only just become available in Spain and as they point out there will be periods of non connectivity. It is also expensive. Currently over 499 E for the kit excluding delivery and installation and then 108E a month.

I doubt the prices are going to drop down to anywhere near 25E a month anytime soon.

For the 4G, I really can't praise Digi enough. Compared to Vodafone, they are a dream to deal with and the 4G speeds are the same as 5G with Vodafone, if not better. The icing on the cake is the huge price difference between the two.
