We don't get a three signal at all, but get a good EE signal, but I don't see anything that comes anywhere close to the cheap unlimited deals that three offer. The unlimited sim is £34 a month so double the price really im averaging about 120gb a month most unlimited sims have a 1tb/ month fair allowance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProDave Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Ariel is a washing powder. An Aerial is a device for receiving radio signals. I'll get my coat. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocster Posted March 3, 2020 Author Share Posted March 3, 2020 Ok ! the problem with speed net is it chooses an ‘optimal’ host it would seem at random ! So in the same location I can get anything between 2mb and 22mb - depending on host !!! . Assume there’s some configuration on the router that allows you to choose hosts ....

Phone wise ( when I’m above ground ) 3 or 4 - not an issue . This modem though !! You can 4 bars and get a relatively slow speed or 3 bars and it’s actually faster . I think which host it picks is critical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trialuser Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Glad I saw this thread. I'm in rural Dumfries and Galloway on an exchange only line and get about 3 down and 0.2 up. Today I stuck my EE phone sim in a TPlink 4g router and now get 55 down and 7 up, very happy. Am I correct in thinking that mobile companies can no longer get uppity if you use a phone sim in a data device, I can get an unlimited data phone sim for about £30 a month, I pay 28 for the slow broadband so for 2 quid I'd be gettin a much better service.

AliG Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 It appears from a bit of Google work that you can indeed now just use the phone SIM on EE. There is a limit of 1000GB a month and they say that they will consider more than 12 devices to be commercial use. Not clear if they mean simultaneously. Not sure why they offer data sims if this is the case.They are much more expensive. Three is cheaper at £22 a month for unlimited here including the router, plus £60 cashback. But I don't know what their signal is like in your area. https://store.three.co.uk/view/content/mbasket?ID=1666&ty=aff&link_id=fc&link_ref=M2jgsvXi5djSBFc0XIs*NE*Hu3SDTTR&aff_id=128 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialuser Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Thanks, only get an EE signal here, I'm surprised how good it is though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
