Been using the huawei e5180 home 4gee on pay monthly for about a month now and the huawei e5180 has worked fine the same as huawei b593

If you already have a suitable 4G mifi device, then don't forget the current offer on EE Mobile Broadband sim that somebody posted the other day

http://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php...-data-sim.html

25GB for £15 per month on a 30 day rolling contract.

Arse. I took out 2 new Three contracts 3 weeks ago, that would have been a much better deal. Oh well, Three are much better in my area.

But on that tariff once you use all the data the data ons are more expensive so not good as the home 4gee tariff data addons

As another thread is 100% dominated by contract talk, it’s about time to pop in a post for the benefit of PAYG mobile customers.

On PAYG, currently there are 6GB EE 4GEE data sims on offer at Amazon for 12.50.

Obviously more expensive than on a contract, but a great offer for some who don’t want to be tied to a contract and only require data. And you have 3 months to use the 6GB

On home 4gee payg tariff you can buy 20gb for a £25 top up

I use 10gb to 12gb per month on average, so 25GB is more than double what I currently use and more than enough overhead. I've also been using MBB sims as a replacement for ADSL since 2011, so its no hardship.

Paying £28 per month for 20GB on the 4GEE Home Tariff just because the additional data is cheaper wouldn't make a lot of sense if you never actually need any extra data. Far better to go with the £15 25GB MBB Offer Sim and save £13 a month and have the safeguard of the additional 5GB allowance per month that it brings.

But, let's say that one month I needed 23GB of data as a one off, on the £15 25GB MBB Tariff its included, and so using 23GB in a month wouldn't cost me anything. However on the £28 20GB Home Tariff, I would need to add £10 for an extra 5GB, costing a total of £38 - so your statement isn't always accurate as i've just given you one example where Data overage isn't always cheaper on the 4GEE home tariff.

If I was a regular big data user and there are two or more people in the Household, What would stop us from taking full advantage of this offer and taking out two of these 25GB MBB Tariffs at £15 a month and using them in two different Mifi's or a dual sim phone and a Mifi?. That's essentially £30 a month for a combined 50GB of Data, i'm not seeing that cheaper on the 4GEE Home tariff either, which would cost £44 a month. That's £14 a month or £168 saved over a 12 month period for the same 50GB if Data provided by the same Network, more than enough compensation for the minor inconvenience of splitting the use between two sims.

If you are happy with 4GEE Home, that's fine, but i'm not going to be swayed into agreeing that its the cheapest method of getting the equiv amount of Data, because at the moment it isn't

Home 4gee pay monthly or pay as you go included a router as well,

Also with Home 4GEE package it has higher network priority for data over standard MBB or phone sims to I have tested the home 4gee sim against standard EE mobile broadband sim and EE phone sim and the home4gee sim is always gives faster data speeds

Also that mbb sim offer is more expensive than home 4gee for high data users i pay £40 per month and if i use 150gb a month that would cost me £140 on the standard mbb sim only offer that would cost £220

On home 4gee tariff by buying
50gb inc price of £40 tariff
5x 20gb data add ons at £20 each total (this add on on available only on home4gee tariff)
£150 total cost for 150gb

of the sim only mbb offer you posted it would be more expensive

25gb for £15 then biggest addon is 10gb for £15 so thats

25gb inc price of £15 tariff
12x 10gb data add-ons at £15 each then (largest add on on the plan)
5x 1gb data add-ons at £5 each
£220 total cost for 150 gb of data on the mbb sim only offer tariff

Don't forget EE is doing a promo on the 50GB plan. The gotcha is a 24 month contract, but if you knew you'd need it for that long it's quite a good deal. I was told £25.20 a month.

As I've had my current EE MBB plan since 2013, despite it being a 30 day contract, I am considering it but holding out for even higher allowances. If they can start doing a 100GB plan, I'd consider that if I can ditch my phone line completely.

One can only hope for an affordable 50 or 100GB plan and lower run on charges. I hope BT might consider this.

Okay if you say so.

If I ever got to the point where I needed to pay £140 a month just to access the internet, I think i'd probably sell up and move to a Fibre Area. or seriously cut back on my use. I think you are venturing well beyond the realm of most people's mobile data requirement in order to make a point. Certainly i've never seen anybody here giving figures that high as their data budget, or saying that they are currently spending almost £150 a month for Mobile Data. You are fairly unique in being the first.

I imagine that most people in non fibre, non ADSL areas could get by on under 100GB a month, and to get that, you could essentially take out two 50GB MBB Contracts which John has mentioned, totaling £50.40 for 100GB of Data

That's what I would be doing.......*if* I used more than 12GB of data every month........

No sorry thats a fact the largest data add-on available on that £15 mbb sim only is 10gb for £15 see this .pdf http://ee.co.uk/content/dam/ee-help/...Ons_221214.pdf

on home4gee plan the biggest add-on is 20gb for £20 see this .pdf on page 4 http://ee.co.uk/content/dam/ee-help/...ide-091215.pdf

Might change soon i heard bigger data add-ons are on the way for the home4gee price plan soon 40gb 80gb 100gb data addons

I see you have just edited your post,

150gb of internet use is not high with streaming and large files I have FTTP here and a lease line aswell and over at my london home i have virgin media cable bb but i spend alot of time here out in the country side but i need back up for access to large files to my L.A site

I've had many 100GB SIMs from EE but can't really measure my usage accurately because I never hooked up my Sky boxes or Fire TV. I suspect that On Demand viewing, and downloading of content that I may not even watch for weeks/months, will greatly exceed 100GB and possibly also 200GB.

It's not hard if you're watching Super HD content on Netflix, and will be even easier as and when I get a UHD TV and start streaming UHD content!

EE will definitely need to offer better packages. Given what you can get elsewhere in Europe, such as Sweden where mobile data becomes a cost effective way for operators to provide high speed service to people in rural areas (including summer houses), and what we've seen in Australia, I think we've got some way to go.

Hi there Jon Three uk have just refreshed their payg mbb sims for years you could only buy 7gb for £25 but that has now changed to £25 for 10gb on the new tariffs details on page 5 & 6 of this .pdf http://www.three.co.uk/_standalone/L...=1214305748126

The same .pdf now shows that three uk now do a similar package to home4gee with a home-based router called Three home wi-fi its on page 2 of the same .pdf http://www.three.co.uk/_standalone/L...=1214305748126 the three home wifi tariff has 40gb of data but i have not seen it any where for sale or any other online documents or info about what router comes with it etc,

But over at three.ie you can get 250gb of data for 34.99 euro http://www.three.ie/eshop/broadband-...pay-broadband/

We seem to pay considerably more for high allowances of data. Yet EE is happy to give out 100GB SIMs every few months, and Vodafone gives totally unlimited data for 3 months (or did for me, now it seems to be 2 months) and does a 50GB promo for £10 on PAYG - which has now run for a while.

Thats right that 50GB promo for £10 on PAYG started again the otherday

If you don’t consume any more than 7GB of data per month and you have 3 months to consume the 20GB, then that would be a really great offer, whether or not you consume the full 20GB. That would work out at just 8.33 per month.

But do you have to consume the data in 1 month or 3 months.

EE are definitely greater value for money than three for MBB.

EE is also likely to be faster than Three in many cases, especially 4G, and for home broadband speed is very much a factor as well as allowances.

That's a great deal.

On Three, for £15 a month on a 1 month contract on SIM Only, you get just 5GB data.

Just to let you guys know the price has gone up on home 4gee package 50gb is £50 and 100gb is £75

As suspected we haven't seen anymore 100GB sims for a long time now.

Correct it has been a while but even small household can eat 100gb in no time at all.

32GB for £14.50 is a pretty good deal though.
