FWA is what we do so I can certainly weigh in. If it's done correctly, FWA will easily give you an improvement on what you're currently getting via mobile, and should be plenty reliable for you. Difficult to say whether the 100Mbps will be just to you or total, but difinitely worth asking the question.

We have very poor ADSL in our (residential) building at the moment, people are getting speeds of around 5 down / 0.1 up. This has been awful while trying to work from home; I have ended up using a couple of Mikrotik WAP LTE kits with unlimited SIM data plans instead. A local ISP is proposing to fit their wireless equipment to the roof to give us 100Mb/s (not sure if this is total or per household, trying to find out. From the website I suspect it would be 200Mb/s shared between roughly ten households). Ordinarily I'd be holding out for FTTP but we're in a listed building and it's hard to see it happening any time soon. We've been contacted before about this but the management co. don't seem interested and I doubt there are enough people living here for any ISP to make a good ROI. It's frustrating because were are in the city centre, and a line runs nearby. My questions are: - Is FWA reliable enough to depend upon? - Would it be an upgrade over my SIM card setup (where I average about 50Mb/s)? Any thoughts or insights would be appreciated. They are currently trying to measure interest and I'm wondering whether or not to get onboard.
