I’m not sure what you’re referring to, so I need some guidance. My internet service has ended, and I’m wondering if switching to an unlimited SIM card with a router could improve my connection. I’m interested in weighing the advantages and disadvantages of this choice. I found this SIM on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/EE-Unlimited-Da...hdGY&psc=1 If I choose this, I’d likely need a dedicated router. Do you have any suggestions on which model to pick or other options that fit under £150? I’m considering an ASUS router versus the more expensive ZTE one, but I’m not sure if it’s worth it. I usually buy the SIM with the card, but would a higher-end device be better? Thanks in advance.

I operate as a self-employed individual with a registered company in Companies House, which is generally acceptable. I didn’t realize the registration indicated a high-quality signal, thinking it meant business-grade performance. Before buying anything, I plan to reach out to them for clarification.

It seems everything should be okay. The cost comes out to about 13£ per month, which feels quite sensible.

Four out of five routers are considered the lowest priority devices for a cell tower. This means heavy traffic can lead to poor performance, and in areas near cities, these routers often struggle to deliver reliable speeds.

Consider whether you have a strong 5G connection in your area. Without many nearby antennas, speeds might be limited or slow. Be aware of the fair use rules—the plan mentions 600 GB per month, but how does that compare to other providers nearby? The site lists about 3-4 ISPs with different options https://www.cable.co.uk/broadband/check-...irmingham/

Thanks for sharing the details. Earlier, I had Sky with a 67mbps connection for £28 per month. I switched to Virgin offering 264mbps for just £30.50. I believe this will be the most suitable choice for both me and my budget. Appreciate the info!
