I did that, got 25-30mbps on my phone, on the driveway, outside the house.
But the 4G/5G router didn't get anywhere near this, as well as a host of other conneciton problems, though weirdly the upload speed was better than the download. Spoke to their 'support team' to talk about optimising it, their best solution was to do a factory reset, then turn it off and on again...
Don't do it.
BT/OR only offered me 0mbp until the line was actually installed, and you have at least 14 days AFTER it is installed and commissioned, to change your mind and walk away, it's a no-brainer
Get a landline, better for now than mobile broadband - this will change in time, but the technology is not here yet, not if you are outside of a 5G signal
In case I am not making myself clear, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND you do not go the mobile route. Distance to the exchange is irrelevant, distance to the FTTC cabinet is what matters.
