Mobile broadband

I may put a Wi-Fi router in the van and tie it to the phone to see if that works...

I don't think that would work. But you could put your phone sim in the router, no problem!

You have unlimited data from EE for £24 per month? That seems like a good price. How long are you tied into the contract?

2 years. But the BENEFITS are unreal. At the moment anyway. I work away from home hence the van, all tv comes curticy of well I don't need an aerial. How it will perform in the wilds is yet to be tried.

Ah, thanks. Experience had taught me not to lock myself into a mobile contract for such a long time. After a couple of years using EE, I switched to Three, getting far higher speeds (but worse latency).
Then Three became poor at home (the best base station was out of service. EE had been using that base, so it was bad too).
Then Three got that base up and running again, but EE is no longer using it.
I seem to be having to duck and dive to keep good service.
However, travelling around, I can say that EE has generally the best coverage of all the networks (my phone is on EE, so I can tell)
I'm hoping for good things when 5G arrives, but stripping Huawei out is damaging services badly.
