@Roger G Hello Roger, something has happened😁
The “troublemakers” are gone. I also received and installed the IB3 and a booster. In my opinion, the booster doesn’t help with downloading, but it does help with uploading.
In the diagnosis, the CRC has been at 0 since IB3. I see that as a good sign, right?
I now also have the L subscription, my question is whether the speed over copper could possibly be higher? (I tasted blood😂)
Best regards
What kind of speed do you get with the speed test at the link below.
Importantly, measure directly via LAN, not via WLAN!

The referenced browser speed test is not suitable for an Internet L, it is much better to download and install the cnlab speed test program on a PC.
This is the only way to get reliable values, because with an Internet L the browser-supported cnlab version shows values that are far too low.

With the speed test program installed on the Windows 10 PC, I get completely different values with the “M” subscription. Is that really true?
If that were the case, then the 5G booster would fully fulfill the “M” subscription even with poor reception values.

Do you now have the “M” or “L” subscription?
Did you install the CNLAB on the PC as mentioned by @Werner, i.e. not via the link?
If you mean local by installation, OK.

See info below from CNLAB!
Internet users use the cnlab Speedtest to measure the quality of their Internet connections. The cnlab speed test in the browser offers a quick overview of the internet connection with a data rate of less than 200 Mbit/s. However, the reliability of the measurement depends heavily on the performance of the computer and browser. For reliable tests with faster connections, it is better to use the Speedtest program (or the mobile app). These also offer more detailed evaluation options and automatic assistance in the event of problems

In such a case, I would go back to the “M” subscription because you won’t reach 500 Mbit/s in the measurements, of course that’s your decision.
I currently have the “M” subscription and will see next year what the speed increase looks like with the 5G booster and then switch to the “L” subscription.

With the IB3 I can switch the support of the 5G booster on or off for the device in question that carries out the speed measurement.
Picture 1 is with booster support and Picture 2 is without booster support.

Haha, thanks for the feedback, well done 😀
Your Anschluss currently gives a real bit rate (not attainable or synch rate) of around 400mbps. And with you on the long, cool, right. But there is still some stabilization in there from the previous interruptions. This doesn’t “heal” itself so quickly because we track a certain Frist and Anschluss and only then release the “up-grooming”. But I can reset it myself, but then there is a 50 second interruption. Just let me know when I can do that.
We do not throttle Internet L customers in either the US or DS (i.e. open pipe). So if you can get 450mbps then the booster is giving you whatever extra it can get from the cell. I’ve already seen values well over 500mbps. If you were to go down to the M, as was disruptively suggested here, then the booster would be deactivated because the 300mbps is reached in the DS.

@Roger G something I noticed yesterday:
If I uncheck “Use Internet Booster” when measuring the device’s speed, I get about 10% more download speed. (Measured with notebook in LAN and iPad in WiFi). I have roughly identical values on both devices.
When I use the booster, the upload increases by up to 30% for both.
Can this be explained technically?
Sure you can… but not me 🙂
Just remember that we are now rolling out and with the mass comes greater experience and with it fine tuning. At the beginning we didn’t want to give any booster to customers who already received far more than 100mbps, as the gain at this speed could be too small. We also expect significantly more performance in 2022 due to the internal changes. With this we also want to reach the combined 1Gbps.
