I've been with Plusnet for many years and my contract comes to an end in a few months time.
I currently get 60 download/15 upload.
I can get full fibre to my house. I don't need the high speeds that are available, but even if I get similar speeds to what I now have it is quite expensive.
I then came across articles about 5G broadband and the great deals you can get.
I can't get 5G in my area but I've checked and have a very good 4G signal with all four networks.
I've read that I can test by tethering my mobile, but one network will be better than another, so what would be the best way of getting cheap data sims to test with my 4G mobile?
Can I test a 5G sim card in my 4G mobile (Pixel 4a), even though it is a 5G sim card, will it switch to 4G, or is this not possible, and if it isn't, how do I go about testing the 4G signal?
If I find a network that seems to be better than the others, I will then have to think about getting a 5G router, but that will be for another day......
