Hi everyone,
I know it’s not technically Three, rather a sub brand, but just wanted to see if anyone had any experience of using a Smarty sim in a mobile router?
I’ve been burned in the past by Three’s 5G Home Broadband. The router and connection were stellar to begin with, but then after about 6 weeks, the internet repeatedly “stalled”.
I’d find my router with no internet connection, yet my iPhone on the same network would be blasting out the MBs in triple figures.
A restart would temporarily restore connectivity, and then after a few hours - stall.
I’ll cut the story short in that the problem was never resolved and we ended up getting out of the contract early without penalty.
But my iPhone remains incredible with blistering speeds (for a handset) and I’d love to be able to get those speeds for a fraction of the price Virgin Media charge for broadband.
So, has anyone used Smarty for home broadband? How have you found it and have you encountered any issues? What hardware have you used? Etc
Thanks!
