Camelford is listed as a hot spot site, which probably means bandwidth is very limited. If several were trying to use the hotspot simultaneously I suspect it was overloaded and just locked up. Although the data cable runs close to the site entrance, presumably the cabinet is some way away, otherwise they would get a better connection.
We are 300 metres from the fibre optic in the cabinet and get 68 MB through a copper cable. Unfortunately I suspect tapping into the cable, will be considerably more expensive than me signing up to BT Halo.

Posted on 24/07/2020 23:41 by redfaceSorry corners, but how does HS impact on Wi-fi reception as discussed by OP?
Reverting to subject, I do prefer the use of a mobile phone as a hot spot, a.k.a. tethering.

I suppose that you use a mobile phone a lot then. I have dumb phone and probably sent two texts since lockdown and taken 2 calls. Hence I prefer site wifi or our own mifi. OH has a smart phone for when she doesn't want to carry a camera and has probably made two calls on it in 12 months.
