I’m looking at getting the 12month unlimited data sim contract with O2 to use in a B618 router. I know there are cheaper options with Three or more “unlimited” data option with Vodaphone. However these have far lower download speeds that O2 where I stay.
Looking at the small print in the O2 package it states “If you regularly use 650GB of data per month or tether 12 or more devices we may consider this to be none permitted use and have the right to move you to a more suitable plan”. I don’t think the 650GB limit is an issue for me but the 12 device limit could be a deal breaker as using this for a family home internet connection I'm going to be way over this. From online guides it looks like the use of a VPN could allow me to hide the number devices using the internet connection and I’ve had a play around with the VPN settings on the B618 and it seems to work okay. However, when using a VPN certain web sites and streaming services such as iPlayer don’t work.
I'm curious if there are any other ways to hide the number of devices being serviced through the B618 router or if anyone else has tried the O2 “unlimited” data package and seen issues with exceeding the device limit?
Thanks
