Thanks very much for your suggestions. I'll need to do a bit more homework fully understand what you have said but will then set to taking your advice. You are correct in guessing that I have a Huawei router. Band switching should be fairly rapid I would have thought. That gives some hope that disruptions will not be a major issue. I'll add to this if I get anywhere with it.

Hello, In UK. I have just kicked Virginmedia FTTC cable out as they can't adhere to a negotiated price for more than 10 minutes and also cannot get anything affordable from them without taking a TV and landline package I don't want. I have moved to 4G mobile on Three network (LTE in USA I believe) with an external antenna. On testing I can get 100Mbps most of the time and a general min of about 50Mbps which is more than I need. However I sometimes get a single sample of 20Mbps and down to less than 10Mbps. What I'm trying to work out is whether these "lows" are always coming and going and are just occasionally being "caught" by the sampler. I also would like to know if they are brief or last for minutes. I'm guessing buffering may hide brief "lows" on Netflix 4K but longer ones could make the service unusable. The actual speed contour of a single sample, multiple times, would help immensely to scope this issue out. Any ideas please?
