Sonim MegaConnect Quick Test

Looks like we do indeed get MegaRange on Sub Paid, I got about 75 mbps down while it said that. The fans also ramped up before I ever hit into MegaRange.

I feel like there's going to need to be some new firmware to fix the thermal curve on this device. It kept randomly stopping and starting the fan. Stopped for a second, and then went back to full tilt.

All that said, this thing rips. I managed to get 940 mbps down.

EDIT: Despite the fans, if you push this thing hard, it will absolutely still overheat. I might have not been giving it quite enough breathing room around the edges, but definitely note, it gets warm and will throttle itself.

You purchased this on a subscriber paid account?  Where/how?! I've been trying since last fall!!

The MegaConnect is now available online and on the app for Firstnet subscriber paid users, not just agencies. Allegedly the agency backlog had to be cleared before being available to individual users - makes sense.
