4G is faster and more reliable than sky wifi

Shouldnt your broadband be better than 4G?

@notimpressed1 not necessarily given the improvemrnts in mobile coversge Wifi can well be slower especially if you are on a long copper line or a fair way from your hub.

As @Chrisee indicates, fundamental physics dictate that FTTC over copper phone line of more than a few hundred metres length may well be slower than 4G beaming through empty space even before broadband reaches an ISP router and gets retransmitted as local WiFi (which is itself subject to losses through interference and environmental conditions)

In most cases, yes.

Although that depends on the broadband connection type and your location, as mentioned above.

I would politely suggest you need to give more info on your problem if you want help 👍🏻

The 2023 Ofcom figures put 'average' 4G download at a touch under 30Mbs, or the same as could be expected to be delivered to the router over FTTC at an address 900 metres from 'its' fibre cabinet.

One thing to consider is that if you mean WiFi rather than broadband, the signal from a phone mast arrives at every part of the outside of a property roughly equally, but the wireless broadcast from an ISP router (at 100mW for 2.4Ghz and 200mW for 5Ghz) is hugely affected by its location relative to client devices and the fabric of the building, particularly the number of walls in between.
