No, there's no landline and the guy next door doesnt have one fitted either.
The 4G router looks to be the way ahead then. How can I check the 4G signal? Is there an app?

Drive over there with a 4G-capable phone in your hand and do a speed test?
A modern iPhone can do that, just type speed test into Safari, Google will do it for you....  I get 18mbps via WiFi on my broadband here doing that and oddly a very similar result via 4G. I just did a different calculation by working out the road mileage from the exchange to the property, which is over 2.5 miles, about 4.2km. If the phone line runs directly there (unlikely) again it gives a top speed of about 3mbps on wet-string broadband.

I'd get a free 4G PAYG SIM from EE, O2, Voda etc. and try each one in your phone. Run the Speedtest app. Or tether your PC to the phone wirelessly, with the phone as a hotspot, and browse speedtest.net.
See who wins for speed. 20 MB would be hard for us to live with. Usually me at work remoting into stuff with the wife and kids streaming in the evening. We get 400MB here. Should I conclude that country piles aren't all walled landscaped gardens and butlers then?
