@Vusteimun67 or you use a satellite connection like Star-Link.

I also tried satellite. Unfortunately it was very expensive and didn’t work well in certain weather conditions.

My subscription is called Swisscom basic service.

Hi

It can’t be that your subscription throttles after 5 GB. According to Swisscom’s General Terms and Conditions, this is the case under the following conditions:

If the customer consumes more than 40 GB per month
Amount of data, the speed will increase
Maximum 2.5 Mbit/s download and 1 Mbit/s upload limited.

Roaming and other mobile functions are available
not available

@Internetfreak88 the 40 GB block (unlimited flat rate (inOne subscription)) has been lifted within Switzerland and only applies to roaming abroad with a flat rate.

Sunnrise offers unlimited flat rates.

But that’s your landline subscription, not your mobile subscription?

There is no basic service for mobile, it is always just best effort.

Basic services are generally offered via landlines. If this is not possible, a mobile or satellite solution is offered.

When it comes to the satellite solution, we depend on the provider (no, we don’t have our own things in space) and what they offer and at what price. The FUP (Fair Use Policy) also applies here, which limits traffic from 24GB (data traffic between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m. is not included).

Consumption >24GB is not basic supply-like and very expensive for us. If someone in these very remote areas has such high consumption, then they should switch away from basic services and use an alternative solution (e.g. Starlink). There is no other option.

The same applies to basic services via mobile (has already been mentioned here). The question here is why you chose a basic service product and not another mobile internet subscription. I would think about what fits into the FUP for the flat rate offers in the monthly consumption. Ev. A consumption of >40GB fits in somewhere without violating the FUP.

Best regards

I know, digging up old posts and stuff…

But just saw it here. Maybe interesting?

According to the post, this now seems to be an affordable alternative.

Hardware costs 399.00 + 50.00 activation fee, then 65.00 per month and all of this without data limits, acceptable speed and ping values ​​that are no longer beyond belief.
