Probably best to reach out to the Three to see if there are any problems with their service. Especially if it is flicking between 4G+ and 4G as well. Perhaps there is an outage or work going on. How has connectivity been on your mobile phone to compare? Try the Three SIM in your phone and see how it behaves.
Hi
found this forum post and bookmarked, then reading this article this morning. looks like they've messed up the Sunday update.

How have you managed to get unlimted data sim for £3 a month? Thats an absolute bargain.@mrk You should probably look in this thread for 5G home broadband advice.
If you really want to know why you get 5G but Three state no coverage it is due to their maps not be updated at the same rate as their coverage is increasing. I have been using there 5G service on a home broadband router for well over a year, even though it claims I had no coverage until a couple of months ago, and then it claims only out doors.
If you want to try it cheaply then you can use your phone SIM in a decent 5G router, something like a Huawei CPE Pro (112-370), you can buy them used locked to Three for only £170 from CEX, you have a returns policy on it if you find it no good. I get a stable 700+Mbps the majority of the time with 60Mbps upload (capped due to NSA). I pay the whopping sum of £3 for totally unlimited data, and I have crossed the 2TB per month threshold several times with no warnings from Three at all. Nothing is throttled, and I have experienced no downtime, other than one day of mast maintenance. If you prefer not to sign up to a contract you can get SMARTY Unlimited 30-day pre-pay for £16 per month, should you decide to stick with it.
I’m not sure which mast I’m connected to, I don’t know how to find out, but there’s only one that’s local to me and it’s about 0.5 miles away.
I'd 100% try and locate your mast, then play with the router location. Remember also that upload is handled by 4g so you might find that your router connects to a different mast for 5g and 4g.
Another member in the household is having rubber banding issues in games. Ping is worse than our old fixed line connection (about 30 ms vs 10 ms). I knew the ping was going to be worse, but I didn't think it would create issues. 30 ms still seems okay to me... but heh, I don't play anything super fast paced.

It looks like I'm going back to 33 Mb/s down. Damn
yeah 30ms seems perfectly fine, or at least I wouldn't expect rubber banding issues. Well, I think it's natural to blame the connection when going back to a fixed line resolves the issue, but I sure do hope it's just a setting or something in the settings.
