Cheapest option on 02 network for 100gb plus of data?

The EU Open Internet Access Regulation, among other things, enshrines ISP customers’ fundamental right to access the content and information, to use the applications and services, and to use the terminal equipment of their choice through their internet access service through their internet access service.
I have also found this interesting paper:

But I guess with leaving the EU the british courts will no longer feel bound by the European Court of Justice.
 
Is the LHG pointing at the best mast in your area, as O2 have fully rolled out B40 across the UK and this would give you the best speeds possible.
Yes it is pointing at the best mast. I don't see any band 40. As I say cellmappper only shows band 20 availability.

Cellmapper may be outdated. What bands do you see in your router?

Thank you for that. So I just launch the terminal and paste the below code into it?

/ip firewall mangle
add action=change-ttl chain=postrouting new-ttl=set:65 out-interface=lte1 passthrough=yes

Also is there any downside to doing this in terms of performance?

This masks everything behind your LHG to make it look like just one device making all requests.
 
Are you using RouterOSv6 or v7?
My installed Version is 6.48.3. It says the latest stable version that I can update to is 6.49.6. So no v7 is listed? Yes there are v7 but they are not listed as stable. Is it worth taking the risk to update to an unstable?

Do you think that will be enough? I am surprised there is not more publicly accessible information on the precise mechanisms they are using to detect people. If they terminated a person contract for using the sim in a router, and that person took them to court claiming they were not using it in a router, they would have to publish the full technical details of how they allegedly detected this. Without publishing this information, the person could not cross examine such evidence and have a fair trial. Neither could the court make an informed decision.
 
Thats strange that it did not come up as a stable in the router page. 7.2.1 is showing up as a "testing" build. Out of interest did you notice much prerformance improvement when you upgraded?
there's major improvements if you have a look at the 7.2 changelog, especially for your R11e-LTE6: https://mikrotik.com/download/changelogs#show-tab-tree_2-id-74c5d9234051010a38a669f48bfeb435

Mechanisms used that are hard to circumvent: mac address detection, imei detection, user agent sniffing, os tcp/ip fingerprinting.

TTL should be enough.
 
im on lyca unlimited (£12.50 month) in tplink mr600 v2 . Lyca limit the speeds to around 50 megs or less i have been with them for 10 months.
The customer service is hit or miss. The annoying part for me was the way you have to activate the sim it is not plug and play.

If they limit it to 50Mbps, thats okay as I dont get anywhere near that speed. I don't see an unlimited data plan for £12.50 per month with them? Can you link to the plan you are on?
 
My LHG has an EM12G instead of the LTE6, had to purchase a m.2 to mini pci-e adapter, plus ipx cables, but it's now a CAT12 router.

I have now upgraded to 7.2.1, b. For Band 20 at 10Mhz these are the stats that my device is reporting:

Primary Band B20@10Mhz earfcn: 6400 phy-cellid:26
RSSI -57 dBm (excellent)
RSRP -85 dBm (good)
SINR -7 dB (poor)
RSRQ -10.0dB (excellent)
RI 1

I then manually changed to Band 40 (found setting) These are the stants for Band 40:

RSSI -81 dBm (fair)
RSRP -113 dBm (poor)
SINR 3dB (fair)
RSRQ -12 dB (good)

On paper the fair, poor, fair, good is worse than Band 20, but my internet speed has just jumped to 25mbps! This is a jump from 9mbps. Thanks so much! I owe you a drink.

Just another question if changing from giffgaff to another provider. Is there a way to change the provider without physically having to remove the sim? Its just a pain to get up on the roof to swap a sim card out.

Looking at all the options, it seems Tesco is the best with the cashback. But I just have to apply a few settings on the router, to try and evade detection that I am using the sim in a router. Like meritez suggested I typed the below in the terminal on the webpage for my router:

/ip firewall mangle
add action=change-ttl chain=postrouting new-ttl=set:65 out-interface=lte1 passthrough=yes

It does not give a confirmation of anything, so I have no idea if this setting has been applied? Is there anyway to check that it has been applied in the router settings?

It'll show up in IP, firewall, mangle rules under webfig.
