dongle or tether?

Moved to new house. New build development. Bt wont come for a month.. Mobile has weak e, h, 3g connectivity. Tried tethering - was unusable. Is there any reason why a dongle might work better than tethering?

Unlikely if on the same network. Have you tried doing coverage checker on all the networks?

Struggling to do anything tbh

If you tell me your post code i will do a few coverage checks if you like.

If you havn't already, did you try putting you phone next to an open window ?

i had terrible 3g signal in my old place and couldn't tether, but when i put it next to the open window the signal improved a lot and i was able to actually use it
