Title: 4G with some hassle.
Well, I'm fairly disappointed to say the least. I moved house around two to three weeks ago and we needed broadband. After looking around and the current situation of OpenReach, I decided to trail Three's 4G home broadband option. After signing up with their non-contract, unlimited data option, I sat patiently for the router to arrive. I didn't get any dispatch notification so was a little worried it wasn't going to arrive - sure enough, it arrived as promised. So far so good.

After opening the box, sticking in the SIM card and turning the router on - we had internet! A solid 5 bars and a nice 70 down/30 up. Again, brilliant.

After using the internet for some time though, things started to go downhill. We started to incurr a minor issue wher things would need to be refreshed a second time to load. The page would begin to load but then "fail" with no error. I have to manually stop the browser and reload - the page then loads instantly.

The connection or speed can't be faulted but it's the intermittent issue that makes it unbearable to use and work with. I've tried numerous restarts, a factory reset and also a third-party router plugged into the modem but neither work.

I'm still, at the time of this review, trying to get second-level support to fix the issue and as a result will be cancelling in the cooling down period.
