I'm looking to use one of these for "DIY" home 5G broadband, as discussed in another thread.
These are both on the Three network so is it reasonable to assume the performance will be similar and probably identical?
I understand Smarty use CGNAT and customers don't get a public IP address. Does anyone know if it's the same with iD?
It looks like both companies allow tethering and "unlimited" does mean "unlimited", but Smarty seem to be more explicit about this which looks like a plus for them.
Smarty seem to be more discussed on the forums, but right now they're £16/month at uSwitch whereas uSwitch have an offer for iD at £15/month. It's only a quid but if the two services are really indistinguishable it feels silly to pay more. Though to be honest Smarty feels more like a known quantity just because I can find more discussion of their service and that discussion is generally positive.
Thanks for any advice!
