[Closed] 4G home broadband

nickewen · 2019-11-25T17:26:56Z

Is anyone using 4G in the home as a replacement for traditional or fibre broadband? My Virgin deal (Vivid 100) has come to an end and shot from £29 to £50.50 a month.. I refuse to pay that much for internet and it's not even very fast IMO.. they said they'd "do me a deal" and drop it to £49.. jokers. Anyway, it appears if you want fibre in my area it is Virgin or nowt.. then I'm onto traditional broadband through the phone line (BT, TalkTalk, etc. all coming up as a No for fibre). This has got me thinking about just ordering a 4G box for the house. Three are offering unlimited data for £22 a month. I can't see to find any detailed signal strength checkers to compare the different suppliers - it's all just Yes/No on availability and that's it. Our use isn't exactly heavy. Worst it would get would be Netflix on the tellybox and me on work laptop. Just the two of us and baby in the house. Any advice greatly received. Cheers
