Evening folks,
I am currently with Virgin Media for broadband only (1Gb down/100Mbps up) and for its service I cannot complain as it has been super reliable for the 3 years I have been with them.
However, come May 2025 when it's time to renew or change.....I have been thinking about going Mobile as it is only £20 p/m with a smarty SIM card......compared to nearly £60 p/m currently.
The question I have is....on the whole, how reliable is mobile broadband in terms of maintaining a decent speed and also keeping the service up and running, do you lose signal a lot that needs the modem to be re-booted/re-started to get it going again?
Do most of the users here use mobile broadband because there is very little alternative for you?
I am lucky enough to have loads of ISP options available to me, and could easily swap to another provider come May next year.....so I am just really weighing up my options.
One thing I will mention is.....I DO NEED a super reliable connection....as I am the network guy of the household, but I am also out of the house 10-11 hours of the day working....so I cant have any issues arise when I am not in the house to sort it out.
Thanks
