I live deep in the country and have found that , following an upgrade from Vodafone to their masts, I can now get fast speeds at home. I have tried landline broadband and satellite and 4G is way superior.
I use about 100 - 120 Gb of data a month at home, but cannot get a data sim for that sort of usage. Vodafone give the best speeds for me, and I have several sims from different companies that I have to exchange during the month.
Assuming that I am not too concerned regarding cost - (I am continuously going just over the capacity I have bought and therefore paying a lot for data) is there any way of purchasing a data sim for that sort of usage.

Hi
Have you considered Vodafone Connect for home broadband.

My understanding is that uses the phoneline. I am 7 km from the switch and get under 1mB with any company that I use for broadband using ADSL.
If there is a solution that uses the 4G connection only that you are aware of then I would be in seventh heaven.
Thanks

Currently because I limit my usage as much as possible - I dont stream movies or TV - most of my usage is web browsing and email and sychronising of many apple items. With a large family this usage of 60-100GB per month appears to be relatively normal. In a perfect world I'd love to use Netflix etc more often.

Hello @Totalbrill
Welcome to the Community.
Since you are a light user and 4G would suit your needs, the cheapest option would be to go the PAYG route. The closest allowance is 250mb of 4G data costing £5.00 per month.
All details below.

Thanks - but I use about 100-120Gb per month - so am not a light user.

No worries

That's a huge amount of data to be honest.
I I use just over that a month on my Bt Infinity.
Its possibly going aping to be a high cost if you intend to maintain that usage pattern.
Vodafone do a Data Test Trial for 2 months on new contacts so you can see your usage.
