Ditching landline and Broadband for
4G data package sim
My router will accept a 4G dongle, with EE confirming 4G in my location. I can get a much higher speed and less money £20/month as opposed £28 for BT. Plus no more telephone cold calling which takes up more than 90% of our calls :luxhello: Any downsides? |
Alright of its reliable I suppose
And unlimited |
Only if its capped.
|
I can get 15GB per month on a rolling 30 day contract. I was going to run them in parallel for a month to ensure it was reliable and we didn't exceed allowance, but given its only 30 days I could always upgrade allowance or even downgrade-doubt it
|
Not going to be downloading any large files then. Just using general internet stuff you might be surprised how much bandwidth you suck up over a month.
|
We did similar in spain.
Although its via point to multipoint WiFi to a nearby mast. Voice calls now come via VOIP, so no need for a landline. To think, I used to have a "unlimited" 3G contact in the UK...and I ditched it so I could get a better phone; Admittedly a Samsung Tocco was probably the most useless phone for anything internet related. |
I have mobile internet out here in Croatia only 5GB at the fastest speed then it slows down a bit but the price goes mental after that, used 10GB one month watching BBC iplayer went from £8 to almost £60 :cuckoo: lesson learnt, they'll not have me like that again.

You really want to watch out for this. I was watching the first series of Falling Skies through Sky Box Sets and made it half way through before spotting the box that says each episode in HD is 1.3GB worth. So you can munch through a hell of a lot of data really quickly if you're not paying attention.
As the saying goes, if it seems too good to be true, then it probably isn't. :( |
Just did a quick calc. on data usage, wife watches loads of netflix series at 650mb to 1.5gb per programme, kids gaming, then general browsing. I woud exceed the 4G allocation in about 5 days if not less :(
Not worth using 4G until it becomes truly unlimited across the UK! |
