I live in the sticks and had thought about buying several 30GB data contracts with the likes of EE or Three or Vodafone. EE used to do 100GB for £75 but discontinued their router package. No one else got near it with 40GB on Three being the best deal.
As of Friday past Three have released a new contract offer on HomeFi. A 4G Huawei Router with 100 GB of data for £30 pm. Usually £45 but currently discounted as it is a new offer. I know there will be folk out there using the all you can eat data on three with a VPN to disguise their internet use but for those that don't want the hassle, here is your solution. Getting about 15Mbs where I would usually be lucky to hit 2Mbs on ADSL.
Delighted is an understatement.
The kit/sim can be used abroad for upto 12GB. You also get the binge features too!
Only available instore and in selected stores.

£30 for 100GB seems reasonable compared to the current 3 HomeFi options at £24 for monthly 40GB three.co.uk/Dis…eFi

100gb home broadband? Stupid. Needs to be unlimited. It's 2017 not 1997

If you were using 100gb per month in the days of 56k dial up then you're speaking tosh. I bet you weren't even born then.

Clearly it wasn't literal.

If it was unlimited it wouldn't be £30. Can you see how this works?

Nice try, but I pay £18 for unlimited data with Three. This is £30 for only 100gb. It's a poor deal. Can you see how this works?

And then your vpn costs on top? You cannot tether beyond 30GB with three unless you use a VPN to disguise your traffic from your home LAN. Unless of course you are talking about unlimited data on your mobile only - which this is not - it is instead of home ADSL or Fibre. Most Satellite or comparable products in the UK offer 50GB or less pm with high latency. 100GB pm for £30 is a steal and includes a £120 LTE router. It is also only a 12 month commitment which is unusual for a mobile operator contract these days.

Nope. I have no tethering limit on my contract.

Sign me up? :neutral_face:
Describe your setup, I'm intrigued. That and the fact you have BT Fibre. How much of the internet do you need?

EE dongle + the one plan SIM. I don't have BT fibre anymore. It's woeful. Stalk much?!

Wait: you're using a mobile phone SIM in a dongle? How did you pull that off? Mind posting a link to a guide or something? How do you stop them finding out?

Care to post a link to this deal? Perhaps a link to a fully functioning DeLorean? Or perhaps you are just boasting about a deal not realistically available to anyone now (that is likely being misused if tethered & unlimited which is the point of this deal) & really need to jog on?

more realistic than Sky's 25gig fibre.

This seems a viable option. Baring in mind the cheapest BT fibre is £25 a month and only gives you 25gb, I can get 80mbps down / 20mpbs up with 3, so faster than fibre too I reckon 100gb should be enough. That's 3gb a day, I don't stream a lot of tv.

No idea why this is cold, this is a great deal.
Even on a big discount EE is 30GB for £15 a month minimum.
Bear in mind the 4G router is worth a bit too.

Voted hot cos people are thick and don't understand. Thank goodness we don't offer the British public a referendum on important stuff.
Er. Oh. :grin:
