Hopefully someone out there with good knowledge on LTE networks can assist here.

So my issue is that on my phone with the same Fixed LTE sim I get close to 100Mbps on average, on the Huawei B315 it only manages about 35Mbps. Ive gather that its probably related to the frequency band the 2 devices support

My question is what device or frequency support on a device should I look for? Huawei B618 or 525? Would those be capable of better speeds?

Question 2 (quick one)

Will a Poynting antenna decrease my Ping? Im about 50m from the tower, there is a tree in the way, but with the antenna I can get direct non obstructed line of sight

Thanks friends
 
If Rain, go with B618. Otherwise imo the cheaper of the 2.

Question 2 I have little idea I doubt it would significantly reduce pings maybe make it more stable but that's it.
 
Average ping to EU is about 195-210. Even if I can drop to 180 that would be enough for me.
 
Check if you firmware is up to date as well, my sister is running the same router with cell c LTE and she had a problem with slow speeds, auto update was switched on but the router didnt update, after i ran the update manually the speed was 10x better

Depends on carrier aggregation, perhaps that router doesnt support it.

Most high end phones have CA functionality.
