That is what I have. The signal strength has gone from adequate to crap over the last 6 months.

My advice is to get a 3 sim on a monthly contract just to try it. If the signal strength is low, cancel after the first month and try someone else. 3 is the cheapest of the big companies and that is maybe why the signal strength has dropped. Smarty is also owned by 3, so if you have a strong signal, change from 3 to Smarty and pay even less for the same service.

I posted on WC about my speed with a Huawei B535 router, I can get a download speed of 70.91Mbps and uploads speed of 13.78Mbps, sometimes it drops but it doesn't cause me any issues, I was streaming footbal in 4K UHD in the bedroom while Maggy was watching HD films on Now TV, neither of us had streaming issues

3 data speeds

I have been running a few tests on Huewei B535 router with a 3 unlimited data phone sim (£18pm but cheaper with Quidco), speeds have been impressive for 4G averaging 50Mbps but using an Amazon Eero I managed a download speed of 70.91Mbps and an upload speed of 13.78Mbps and this was in house...
