What is the actual speed of Skinny Wireless Broadband (in Mbps)?
The actual speed is going to differ for each house. When you use Skinny Broadband, you're hooked up to the Spark 4G network.
That means the speed on your connection should be higher than ADSL broadband but generally slower than fibre. The quality of your connection will depend on your signal strength which is affected by things like concrete buildings, hills and valleys that may stand in the way between the modem and the 4G cell site. In a nutshell, it will be slightly different for every customer.
