Expert 4G & 5G Broadband Installers in Gloucestershire & The Cotswolds
Fast, reliable internet without the wait for a landline. Cotswold Fibre Tech provides professional 4G and 5G cellular broadband installations for rural homes, temporary construction sites, and business failover networks. By installing high-gain external antennas and enterprise-grade cellular routers, we deliver high-speed internet to properties that traditional fibre simply cannot reach.
Break Free from Slow Landlines and Fibre Delays
Are you stuck at the end of a degrading copper phone line, or waiting months for Openreach to lay fibre to your property? Perhaps you get zero mobile phone signal indoors because your thick Cotswold stone walls block everything out. You don't need a physical cable in the ground to get ultrafast broadband. By professionally mounting a directional 4G or 5G antenna on the exterior of your property, we bypass the thick walls and lock directly onto the nearest mobile mast. We then run a single, neat cable inside to a dedicated cellular router, blanketing your property in fast, reliable WiFi.Fibre optic cables use pulses of light to transmit data, making them completely immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and capable of carrying data over miles without signal degradation. Whether you are upgrading an aging network or linking a remote Cotswold outbuilding to your main property, our fibre solutions guarantee future-proof, gigabit-plus connectivity.
Tailored 4G & 5G Internet Solutions
We use industry-leading cellular hardware (like Teltonika and DrayTek) to guarantee a rock-solid connection, no matter your location.
High-Gain External Antenna Installation
If you can only get one bar of 4G by leaning out of your upstairs window, we can fix that. We install powerful, weather-proof directional and omni-directional antennas on your roof or chimney. These antennas pull in weak signals from miles away, amplify them, and deliver a stable, high-speed internet connection directly into your home or office.
Rural & Hard-to-Reach Broadband
4G/5G is often the perfect alternative to Starlink, especially if your property is surrounded by tall trees that block a satellite signal. It’s a highly cost-effective way to get fast rural broadband for remote Cotswold cottages, agricultural barns, and isolated business parks where fibre installation is simply too expensive.
Business Failover & Backup Internet
What happens to your business if a digger accidentally cuts your main fibre line? Your card machines drop, VoIP phones die, and work stops. We install intelligent "Auto-Failover" routers. If your primary broadband drops out, the router instantly and invisibly switches your entire network over to a 4G/5G backup SIM, keeping your business online without skipping a beat.
Temporary WiFi for Construction & Events
Need internet on a site before the utilities are connected? We provide rapid-deployment 4G and 5G WiFi solutions for construction site cabins, temporary sales offices, outdoor festivals, and pop-up retail events across Gloucestershire. Get your site team connected to emails and VoIP from day one.
Outbuilding & Glamping Pod Connectivity
If you need to supply internet to a remote garden office, glamping pod, or holiday caravan, but trenching a data cable from the main house is impossible, a standalone 4G router is the perfect solution. We can set up localized cellular WiFi networks that operate completely independently of your main property.
Multi-Network Signal Testing
Not all networks are created equal in the Cotswolds. Before we install anything, we perform a comprehensive 4G/5G site survey using professional cellular spectrum analyzers. We test EE, Vodafone, O2, and Three to find exactly which mast provides the fastest, most stable download and upload speeds for your specific postcode.
Moving House & Delayed Fibre Installations
Just moved into a new property and Openreach has delayed your broadband installation? Don't get stuck working from home with no internet. We provide rapid-deployment, temporary 4G and 5G WiFi solutions to get your house or new office online instantly. Whether you need short-term emergency broadband for a few weeks while waiting for a physical line to be dug, or a temporary router because a contractor accidentally cut your cable, our plug-and-play cellular setups deliver high-speed, reliable WiFi from day one—keeping your family streaming and your business running without the wait.
Remote CCTV & Gate Security Connectivity
Securing a remote farm gate, agricultural barn, or construction site? Modern IP CCTV cameras and smart access gates are useless if you can't view the live footage or get alerts on your phone. We install dedicated, weather-proof 4G and 5G cellular routers specifically designed to power remote security systems. Even if your cameras are miles away from a standard broadband router, our high-speed cellular links ensure you receive instant motion notifications and can stream live, high-definition security footage 24/7.

Frequently Asked Questions About 4G/5G Internet
I get zero mobile phone signal inside my house. Will this still work?
A: Yes! Mobile phones have tiny internal antennas that cannot penetrate thick stone or foil-backed insulation. Our high-gain external antennas are mounted outside, high up on your property. They grab the signal directly from the air and bypass your walls entirely, delivering a strong connection via cable to your indoor router.
Is 4G/5G broadband better than Starlink?
A: It depends on your property. Starlink is incredible, but it requires a wide, 100% clear view of the sky—meaning tall trees can block it. 4G/5G hardware is generally cheaper to install, the monthly SIM contracts are often less expensive, and it is the superior choice for temporary sites or backup failover lines. We will honestly advise you on the best option during your site survey.
Do you supply the SIM card?
A: During our site survey, we will test all the major UK networks (EE, Vodafone, O2, Three) to find the fastest mast for your exact location. We will then advise you on the best unlimited data SIM plan to purchase directly from that provider, ensuring you get the most cost-effective monthly rate without hidden markups.
Is 4G/5G fast enough to stream Netflix or work from home?
A: Absolutely. A properly aligned 4G external antenna can frequently pull in speeds between 40Mbps and 100Mbps, while 5G areas can see speeds exceeding 300Mbps. This is more than enough bandwidth for multiple people to stream 4K TV, make Zoom calls, and game online simultaneously.
