If that router supports an antenna, try to use it to boost the signal coming from the base station. Or, try to use other network for comparison.

The demand over STC is killing the bandwidth and weakening the connection that's the only explanation or STC has decided to apply fair-usage policy
If anybody working in STC can confirm/disconfirm us any of this

STC 4G modem is performing nice in normal conditions. But at some locations, as per the towers, there may be problems. If 4G is not working properly, change to 3G from the modem settings. 3G also gives good speed for our normal activities.
