Now he is on the wireless and gets 25-32mbps.

He's happy.

Certainly not my experience, fixed wireless working well here, 30Mb/s down and 20Mb/s up 40 ms latency and very consistent.

Certainly not - truenet.nz

Edit - aahha ! I read the Truenet page more fully - they have left themselves open here.

1432760 2017-03-13 23:12:00 I'd agree with the test, the data looks correct.

I'd really love to see some real information about the traffic management on the 4G fixed wireless. I've found it to be pretty hopeless for anything but basic web browsing and streaming - certainly is it a massive improvement on bad ADSL, and for the type of use it would get from most people, it's fine.

Do any traffic for a sustained period of time, especially anything ptp and you seem to get slowed down dramatically.
