Thanks, although I'm specifically looking at LTE router performance.

Same here, another bonus if they source you a router. The do not manage it, they just sent me the router brand new and I had to set it up. They have no access to my router.
No PPPOE details needed on Vumatel.

*for clarification Not all Vumatel
It depends on the type of infrastructure installed - Im on Viuma and need PPPOE details

I have found the same on FrogFoot.
My MTS line uses PPPOE but my neighbors Axxess line uses DHCP

Anyone on MTS and using the standard Zyxel modem have issues where you lose connection ( no throughput) for like 2-5 mins and than everything connects again after this?
Been happening quite often on my side and it’s becoming an issue.

Mostly wifi across laptops and phones.
Happened when watching Netflix andriod box connected via cable to the modem.
Called their support center a few times but they see no drops on their end as well as on Openserve.
Could be the modem?

Router, if you on VUMA/SADV FNO, contact MTS to change the broadband router, i used to have this, connection to the cellphones etc was slow, im on 50mb up/down, was getting less than 10, they sent out Vuma to swap the router and everything works fine now
the Zyxel modem works fine, although if you have alot of walls etc, wifi will be affected, so i keep the tv etc on the 5g range as its close to the tv and everything else on the 2.5g range, seems to work for me

Can you do a speedtest here:
Speed test - how fast is your internet? | DSLReports, ISP Information
Use our NEW speed test tool to test how fast your broadband or mobile internet connection really is. Read broadband news, information and join our communitydslreports.com
I'm interested in the bufferbloat score there - not worried about the speed.

No automatic failover however the sim remains, it's a matter of changing the network back to LAN only.

It does automatically failover, set ethernet to auto and it now will revert to LTE if the fibre fails, what a pleasure.
Just tested it.

Yes. We had this quite a few times, we've started using our own router for the last month. Now we're "only" experiencing a few network issues.

Thanks, could you elaborate more on the few network issues after using your own router?
I started using my old TPlink router since this afternoon and have yet to drop connection.

The normal Vumatel outages like upstream issues or Dns issues at the ISP.

Today is the 3rd April and Mind the Speed has still not released my fibre after my contract with them terminated on 31 Mar. My new ISP cannot connect my fibre before Mind the Speed releases it. Therefore it is a long weekend without Internet for us !

The LTE was during load shedding.
