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

If you've got 5g (or really good 4g) towers - caylxinstitute - unlimited hotspot. Runs on tmobile towers. I'm in the middle of nowhere and average 45down on it with 8mb up. If I take it with me and hit good towers I've seen over 1gb down on it.

Issue with 5G is gaining access to non NAT public Static IP address for hosting. You could use DynDNS or similar, but I always struggled hosting real services behind a 3G/4G network.
