4G unlimited sims

[upnortheast]

Lad that works here reckons that from this weekend ("due to change in legislation ") 3 are offering unlimited for £25 month / 2 year contract
Has spoken to them on the phone & appears as it says
See any holes in it @Pheasant Surprise

I'm on an unlimited data 3G contract for about £24/month.
A lad in the EE shop told me a couple of years ago to hang on to it as long as I could, but eventually 4G would come down in price close to it.

Virgin Mobile do something along the same lines, but you need to be a cable customer to get the deal I believe. 2 years is a long time though.

As you know I looked into it a month or so back when having a landline fault and ordered a SIM. Never ended up going ahead with it in the end though as landline got fixed and had plenty on at the time.

I haven't quite ruled it out yet though.

That looks good, can you use all the data as a hotspot as it doesn’t seem to say there’s a cap on the amount

There doesn't seem any mention there....but when you click the "unlimited" box on the LH side, then "My Suggestion" purple bit on the RH side of the screen it shows this which says 30gb personal hotspot.

Not if it is a genuine unlimited contract for 25 quid / month
Can live with that

Yeh when I spoke to Virgin about their equivalent they confirmed no limitation, put the SIM in whatever you want be that tethered / untethered / phone / 4G router ....they didn’t really care.

Fair enough. A day is an eternity in politics and a year or two or is an age in telecoms

Aye, been waiting that long for promised FTTP. & still waiting

Let’s no go there shall we. It’s a sensitive topic for me too.

Fixed telecoms is I think the only technology I can think of that doesn't seem to move at light (or in fact any!) speed.

I can see 4G/5G taking a big chunk out of the fibre/landline market in the next 5 years.

As @Pheasant Surprise said recently - it's ironic how the communications industry are so bad at communicating.

Implementation may be dogshit slow, but allowances and prices seem to get better and fatter. I remember getting 4G fixed broadband in late 2013/early 2014. It was a revelation (in speed) but the data allowance and costs of the day would make you blush now.

True.....though the mobile industry are able to run rings around them for implementation it seems. Effectively means BTOR etc are using old tech to deliver services that mobile firms can deliver quicker, and for a fraction of the price. By the time BTOR have spend the money and caught up....the mobile firms have moved on to other, newer, fancier things.

It was a wise move BT buying EE while they had the money.

3's unlimited data option is throttled when you hit 30 gb

Get it you'll soon find out ,youngest works for Vodafone , says unlimited isn't possible atm without meltdown .

 

[f0ster]

the fixed line telecom network used to be advertised as unlimited until you read the small print which said a 40gb per month was the upper limit, altho now it is genuinely unlimited, with the kids streaming films games etc you can get 150gb month easily.
