Provider for 4g sim, data only, pay as you go, to be used for VOIP ?

Short question :
Id like to set a pay as you go 4g sim to use as a fallback connection for our VOIP. This will have very low and infrequent usage (probably a couple of gb a year). We would require at minimum a stable 10 down, 2 up connection with low ping. (more bandwidth is of course welcome)

Sim wise we would be looking for :
- pay as you go sim with an auto top up feature
- Data only
- Non expiring data credits

Any idea who would be the best provider for this ?



Long question with Background :

Ive got a 200mbps down, 15mbps up virgin media fibre connection to our office. We use this for general internet as well as VOIP (provided by yay.com).

We use the Virgin provided Hitron modem / router combi in modem only mode and use a Draytek 2860 as our Router with some VOIP prioritisation setup on it.

We would use the usb dongle port on the Draytek router to connect the 4g fallback connection to the main network and then configure the Draytek to only allow VOIP traffic to fallback over the 4g connection.
 
All the networks seems to offer PAYG SIMS these days, so it comes down to who has the best signal and data throughput where you live.

Look at the detailed coverage maps for your location, then compare prices. Pick the best two, order a SIM and give them a trial run.

GiffGaff dont have the best speeds, but the system they use is probably the best one for occasional use; data allowances arent good though.

If you're using it for VOIP, assuming you can get a decent 4G connection with low enough latency it doesn't totally suck, you are unlikely to need a 10/2 connection speed wise - unless you're using some seriously poor SIP audio codec you need sod all for voip - just stable/low jitter and stable (and relatively low) latency needed.
