New £14 broadband offer from Three

Some posters here have managed to get unlock codes from Three and unlocked their CPE Pro 2, others have tried and failed. If I went for one I'd probably plump for the CPE Pro H112-372. This model has some of the extra 5g bands of the later model plus antenna sockets. One was up for sale on ebay yesterday - it sold for a crazy price, well over £300.
 
It's obviously not great, but I wonder how not great this is? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003157608869.html

Seems to support all bands, and people on 4G are getting throughput in the 100s
That actually looks pretty interesting, at that price. It seems to support all the relevant UK 5G and 4G bands too. At that price it seems like it would be worth a shot, can always stick it on ebay if it doesn't work out.

Happy to guinea pig if no one sees anything obviously horrifying with it. I have great 5G coverage here and a CPE Pro 2 I can benchmark against

Just placed an order for one. If you want me to test it out first I can :D but I think it will most likely sell easily if I don't want it.

Plenty of videos on YouTube about the router if you want to search for it and have a wee nosey.

Mostly non English, but that doesn't really matter, some mod videos as well.

Internals

Just posting the link above as it features the internals should you want to see what's inside folks. (Non English)

It looks extremely cheap, but I guess that's allowed, because it is very cheap.😁

looks very easy to mod for the external antennas. I'm not willing to do that to my CPE pro 2, because then it's internal antennas become useless but with this, I probably will make that mod since I already have the external antenna.
 
hmm. maybe im not getting it after all.
no idea what this is all about, i've ordered dozens of things from aliexpress and this is the first time this has happened.

Has anyone actually received these two sims at £6? I've heard nothing from Three by email or text. There's no new direct debit set up with my bank and no sims delivered.
 
I was able to get the 2 SIMs for £6 offer today and was told that tomorrow (2nd Feb) is the last day of the offer. I phoned initially on 0800 033 8022 and then everything else was done by email.

Were you given a delivery date or an online account?

Two sims arrived today from Three in a plain brown envelope which contained a delivery note and the sims. There was little leaflet in each sim packet that said to access my3 to set up an account. And that was it. So definitely not for the first time user. The sim packets are marked as Mobile Broadband.
My B818 router failed to recognise the newly inserted sim. I needed to set APN to auto and reset the router then it picked it up. It is using a real IP4 address so I presume it's using the 3internet APN. I haven't tried alternatives.
My two-sim phone recognised the second sim immediately. I set the sim for data only with phone and text with the original and I was able to download content from the BBC website.

My bank has no direct debit details yet.
