Hi.
I am debating whether or not to buy a plan with EE 5g. I can see that they have a 5g router + unlimited data for £50p/m + £60 setup fee for 18 months.
£50 seems like a lot, when I'm currently paying £27p/m for a 30 day rolling EE unlimited data SIM.
EE is currently the only network offering 5G in my area. I tested out my SIM card in my wife's Samsung 5g phone and saw speeds of 120mbps, which is great but I'm not sure how consistent that would be?
I'm currently using a 4g modem and whilst it's okay, I'm on the very edge of town and the signal is at its limits. I'm guessing 5g might be worse, as I believe it's short range?
I'm also waiting to see if I ever get fibre optic / 1gb internet available, it's building in my area but feels like it will never come, due to my location.
To get to my real question haha, is there a better way to get myself 5g EE and a 5g router, let's say I buy the router separately? I'm not sure where to start though.
Thanks.
