I get 50Mbps with 4G connection for 20euros per month. No data cap. Public ipv4 address.

Router is 4 years old Huawei 4g router and I have installed outdoor antenna on the roof for stable connection. I have been with this setup at home for the last 4 years.

I could propably get faster connection with new router but this is fine.

Which country ? Meanwhile in Germany i can get a 200Mbps (up to) 4G/LTE Connection with 50GB included for 35Eur/month. Just makes no sense...

Your use of “included” instead of “limited to”...

That still doesn't compare to the 300Mbps I'm getting right now even through Comcast, or the 1Gbps I'll be getting once the local fiber company builds out in my neighborhood in the next year or so.

Hardly comparable though. The context is wireless internet.

I thought the context was wireless ISPs becoming viable alternatives to landline ISPs like Comcast, so it seemed like a relevant comparison.
