Might be a bit ott as it's a 4g router not just a hotspot but if you want it just PM me your address and it's yours

At the risk of this becoming the 4G broadband price tracker...no bad thing
These are the deals I just got in the EE shop as an existing customer, but new contract/ new SIM/ new number / (and router should you want one):
18 month deals, with an EE router included:
100GB / £45 inc
200GB / £60 inc
I think that’s pretty much in line with what others have been told / gotten. They seem to vary the length of these contracts like the wind, the last two I did were 24-month deals.
In comparison the best I could get from Vodafone was 50GB for £25 inc. that was 30 days rolling.
The only other appealing option if you’ve got the signal is “3” as above at 100GB for £30 on 12-months deal with router chucked in.
Any other good deals at the moment?

Don`t know why they bother with those. Wifi only so if you have any sort of wired network they are no good

Totally new to this and totally non techy but have been reading this with interest and as I never use my landline, it pees me off having to pay for it! Can you use any 4G Sim card for these routers? If so, and tell me if it won't work, this looks quite good

You need the provider with the best coverage in your area, for instance 3 is hopeless here .
You can have a 4g router unlocked

Beats me. I’d rather they kept it and gave a lower tariff.
Once upon a time they used to charge up front for it, seems to be buried in the tariff now

I’d query the “unlimited” data. Sounds too good to be true if it is.
I just wonder if there isn’t a get out in the fine print somewhere around using the SIM in a non-phone situation eg broadband router. Putting it another way, would they be happy for you to pile on 200GB each and every month. It’s a tad more than your average mobile smartphone user would use.

That's what I thought. Don't want to jump into it and then find it won't work....although presumably there is the usual 14 day get out. Will look further into it

Isn`t this to do with tethering other devices to your phone. They limit the amount of data you can use away from your phone, - so unlimited isn`t fully available to your Wifi network -- Something like that i think unless someone knows different

I like their assumption that 20gb is a "whopping" amount of data.

i use 3 for my mobile & its unlimited everything BUT like others have said its
capped at 30GB for tethering.
Now in a previous tariff when i had my 1st iphone over 4 years ago it was truly unlimited.
so much so i managed to download or stream or whatever it all comes to over a terabyte
of data in around 2.5years. Yes i used to Tether it to my PC which then had an outlet to other
devices in the house & boy it had some use.
I had my monthly monies worth thats for sure.
I finally have an unlimited FAST Wireless BB setup now thats far far better so the iphone
rarely gets plugged in for this feature anymore.

Is anyone using o2 for 4g broadband, we have a very good signal here but not sure about ee or others

Plenty using Vodafone round here no problem, which use the same network as O2.
Guess it just depends on coverage and what deal you can get.
I have slightly better Voda/O2 coverage but the EE deal was better.

20GB its a joke isnt it.
4 full HD Films could easily be 20GB if fully quality...

...for existing customers. 18 month contract.
Looks like they’re also offering, on the same basis:
- 100 GB for £40.50
- 50 GB for £31.50
- 10 GB for £22.50
They will also do the above on 30 day contracts but £99.99 up front instead of zero up front.
