5G in Screwfix car park here is around 450mbps, vs 20mbps FTTC at home. I set-up my new laptop sat in the car at Screwfix carpark!
@Colonel Panic I haven't followed all the detail - but remember routing generally needs to be symmetric. So if you are NAT'ing something to your static IP on the PlusNet connection, then that device will need to route the relevant outbound traffic also via the PlusNet connection, not being load balanced. (Otherwise potentially the response packets will be coming back from a different IP than the request). I'm not familiar with USG, but on Draytek you can configure this in the Load Balance/Route Policy to force a specific internal device to always use a specific WAN interface.
