• Moving house hopefully this weekend (fuck crimble!), chatted with my broadband supplier today, engineer (open reach, so every provider except Virgin in the same boat) booked.......1st of February is earliest date!
    Quickly downloading stuff before I move.

    Will a data SIM in a tablet be good enough to stream tv (prime and bbc), or am I better seeing if my nextdoor neighbour will let me steal a bit of hers (if it's a strong enough signal obviously)?

  • Depends on how good the reception is but theoretically no problem.

    I waited ages for virgin to get their act together when I moved in so ended up with a data SIM plugged into an old phone supplying my network with internet and could happily stream 4k and do other stuff.

    Main issue was finding a decently priced SIM with loads of data at a decent speed and no contract

  • Three 5G router and monthly unlimited?
    i’m pondering getting this until community fibre gets rolled out as i don’t want to sign up to Virgin as it’s way too expensive.

  • Will look into coverage at my new place, in case the fibre thing takes a while.
    Ta very much.
