Wanting to get rid of VM due to price look at MobileBB.

Hi there I'm looking into ending my BB with VM their prices are going up and up. So I'm looking into mobile BB as an option. I've been checking my mobile data speed over the past few days I'm currently on a Tesco's SIM in my Poco phone. The result have been good ranging consistently 60-90 Mbps throughout the days
I have a line of sight of the mobile mast.
I've got Huawei b818-263 router which I tried at my caravan a year or so ago. I've downloaded cell mapper and net monster apps and have attached a screen shots from both. Any information you can give me as to which SIM deals would work for me, advice to maximise signal reception would be greatly appreciated. Should you need any further from me. I'll be more than happy to do so. If my limited skills will allow. TIA Dave...

I've had similar speeds with mobile broadband, but ended up hating it for two reasons: the latency was high and variable, especially AFAICT when the weather was bad. And too often the internet would cut out, at least briefly.

You have line of sight, so maybe it won't be a problem for you. But I would ensure this isn't a problem before committing to a long term SIM only deal.

Lebara do really good value unlimited data SIMs, on a rolling basis as well. They're on Vodafone. I know Vodafone's coverage isn't identical to O2, but often it's similar due to mast sharing.

Thanks very much for taking time to answer. You've given me things to think about. I wouldn't have known.
Thanks again.
