Is anyone using a sim in a 5g modem instead of a landline connection?

If so, what is your experience?

No, but I'd like to know this too.

IMO better to use fixed line service for broadband, ​@Edward Fitz-Gibbon & ​@MartinP49

There are too many things that might affect the service, if delivered wirelessly. You might also find unlimited data services aren’t truly unlimited, and have fair usage caps hidden in the terms & conditions.

I have a 1 gb fibre connection at home, I’m looking for a mobile connection.


We are still on copper to house and max out at 37mbs. No plans for openreach to bring fibre here either. So I’m in a quandary. 


But thanks for the advice 👍
