Is 80mbit the maximum I can get? (alien.top)

Hi, I currently have a 50mbit fixed wireless internet connection. I host my personal website, and also access my devices/servers with guacamole, mstsc, and anydesk. Everything is extremely slow and laggy, so i was thinking about upgrading my wan speed.

When I asked my ISP whether i can get a better internet speed, they told me that there is currently no wired or fibre connection available at my location. They told me that they can do their best to upgrade it to 80mbit, but that is the maximum I can get with fixed wireless. They also told me that their transmitter can support a maximum of 8 receivers, and my receiver is the 8th, so i cannot get another wireless receiver and/or combine them together.

I’ve also asked other ISPs, but they told me that their supported maximum with fixed wireless is 50mbit…

I’d be really glad if someone has any ideas. Thanks

Everything is extremely slow and laggy.

Things you can do to improve that from your side.

Make sure your servers and devices are cabled, this has reduced latency over wireless. Every hop will add more.
Run your AnyDesk, devices, host and vms with in performance mode, balanced and power saving modes put devices into low power or sleep states that add to their spin up time when someone accesses them.
Run your storage from ZFS and services (SQL, Web Servers and Web APPS) from arc cache. Arc cache will reduce web page load times and latency from 7seconds, 7000ms to 63ms on device when paired with HTTP2/3. You will add on average 50ms from each cabled hop and 80ms from each wireless hop.
Install SSL certificates and tell everything to use HTTP2.0 or HTTP3.0, with QUIC where possible as this reduces latency and pushes data using multiple streams.
