So my contract with Virgin is up this month, and after unsuccessfully negotiating a new contract, I'm off. (They offered me a deal that was tolerable, then refused to honor it, and told me I was lying and the deal they offered never existed. The condescending Scottish woman from retentions sealed the deal!) I would go back to FTTC, but my petty reason for not going back is that the phone line comes into the kitchen.
When I'm sitting in the loft, I get Three 5G, with speeds of anywhere between 450/20 and 600/50, but downstairs I only get 4G, with a pretty reliable 50/30.
However, according to the Three coverage checker, I'm just outside the 5G coverage, being exactly in between 2 5G masts! So, obviously I can't get 5G (or even 4G) broadband through their website.
Now, I know that I can just enter different postcode in the checker and it will let me through to purchase, but do they do any further checks to make sure I'm actually 'eligible'? I'm only planning on going for the 1 month contract, just to test whether it would be viable.
I was also contemplating just buying one of the 5G routers on Amazon and putting a Smarty sim in, but that would require laying out £200+ temporarily just to test it.
