ok thanks for taking the time to reply

Got a Tesco SIM today to give us temporary WiFi 30Mbps download 25 Up.
Phone peaked at 25 then settled at 5 down in close to the same spot as possible, but not sure if the sim was fully registered/set up when I tested that spot.

Does it have a working pass-through/Bridge mode?

Yes it does as long as you aren't running one with a locked firmware, usually ones provided though a Cell network. Probably going to put mine up on the MM soon, as I have the 5G CPE Pro now.

Thanks all, we went back and did some tests via speed test on Vodafone - just on my handset (p30 Pro). Avg download was about 5mbps, across 6 sample locations around.

Overall I don't think it will be good enough, ordered a 'smarty' sim to test that so might check later in the week.

I assume this is an OK way to test expected performance?

Haha! It's actually totally fine. I've been working from home for over a year now, and Teams and other conference calls with Audio / Video no issues at all. I don't do multiplayer / online games, I'd imagine it would hurt that, but for what I need it's a million miles better than the 1Mbps copper broadband.

45ms is not a noticeable amount of latency for video conferencing. 150ms is commonly the recommended maximum.
