I have the Swisscom Mobile “L” which has four MultiDevices and so I can use one of the MultiDevices to equip a mobile router with the same performance as the main device.
Two others are used for the iPad and the Translator.
Depending on your Swisscom Internet subscription etc., you then pay CHF 69 per month with the deductions for the subscription.
Installationen, Netzwerk, Internet, Computertechnik, OS Windows, Apple und Linux.
A Zuger who can afford a holiday home in the mountains and only uses it three weeks a year takes out a cheap subscription and then complains about bandwidth bottlenecks at peak times. I also live in the mountains and save where I can, but obviously for different reasons. I’m sorry, but things like that give me a hard time.
Have you tried turning it off and on again?

I don’t think the Wingo-5G subscription is cheap. It is three times more expensive than a Lebara 5G subscription.
Yes, it has a very good price-performance ratio! Nobody here has complained about it yet. You are the first. Thanks to the permanent promo, existing customers can also switch to this subscription. Sorry but what do you expect? Everything unlimited with 5G for 5 francs a month? So please…
But I compared Swisscom with Wingo. I only mentioned Lebara because they are much cheaper and have exactly the same problem. During peak times, bandwidths are suddenly reduced to below 10 Mbps. And then suddenly you can no longer stream films. I can then switch back to the cheaper provider straight away.
I just think it’s a shame that Swisscom and Wingo don’t clearly communicate that mobile bandwidths fluctuate between 200 Mbps and 8 Mbps and are then prioritized during peak times depending on the subscription. And exactly when you need the bandwidth. Doesn’t that have anything to do with income or savings behavior?
Please give it a rest now. This discussion leads nowhere. I don’t feel like writing the reasons here again. Then cancel the Wingo subscription and take a blue Mobile subscription.
By the way, cell phone reception always plays a crucial role. Even if the speed Wingo decreases, a change of position within the house can work wonders, e.g. moving to another room on a different side, placing your cell phone by the window, etc.
There was no official statement about this from either Swisscom or Wingo, and there probably never will be. The assumption has been discussed several times here in the forum (most recently here) that Wingo traffic with lower priority than Swisscom traffic. That may be so, but as long as the prioritization only happens when the network is at full capacity, I don’t see any nefarious motives on the part of Swisscom or lies on the part of Wingo. According to the offer, the highest possible available bandwidth is offered, and somehow I can understand that with a limited offer, the cake is divided “fairly” (from the perspective of the more paying customers).
Personally, I don’t care about the cent per megabit ratio; I have a DSL Anschluss at home for streams. What is more important to me is the best possible coverage, even in very remote areas, and here Swisscom (and therefore also Wingo) is usually ahead of its competitors.

Because 5G is not 5G. Take a look at this page: [https://www.5g-provider.info/technik/5g-nsa-vs-sa.html](https://www.5g-provider.info/technik/5g- nsa-vs-sa.html)

And what is 5G for? That would then be unnecessary for you and you could save money with a 4G M-Budget subscription.
Exactly. I currently have a 4G device and a subscription that fits it perfectly.
I think 5G is a good thing for reasons of technical possibilities and tailored network coverage, but I’m currently missing the personal benefit.

This cannot be said in general terms either. This always depends on where you live or are currently staying and how well developed the network is there. With a well-developed network, I always have very high speeds with 5G, even at peak times. Yes, even in Zurich last summer I always had well over 100Mbits at the ZüriFäscht with 100,000 visitors. Of course, the network capacity is additionally increased on such major events, but still. Yes, many factors have an influence here.
