Three 5G Home broadband + £88 Premium Quidco / Topcashback + 3 months free then £20pm /24m = £420 (£13.85pm effective) @ Quidco / Three

Tempting. Maybe a silly question, but can you use a mesh WiFi system with these mobile broadband routers to boost the signal around the house / through thick walls?

Don't do it - I had a 3 phone sim plan - they called me to offer me this for £20 a month unlimited - said I could return with no penalty if it didn't work.

They started work on the mast near my house - speeds dropped from 500 dload to 4 -within 10 days of having it.

I returned it in box - as new as they said I could for full refund etc - they never cancelled the contract - but I did cancel the dd as I was told to and nothing would be owed. They put a black mark on my credit file (never ever had any missed payment before) - this halted a mortgage that was about to be granted - they apologised and said they would give me a letter to explain to bank that I owe nothing and remove the bad mark (missed payment flag) - that was 4 months ago - never had letter from 3 - missed payment is still on my credit file - mortgage deal withdrawn.............now I'm going through the process of legal action against them - absolute shambles of a company.

Had this for 4 months now, had zero issues. Online gaming works fine, 2 kids on tablets & consoles ect no problems so far

I’m on this and at the end of the two year contract they will allow you to buy the router for £120. Definitely check your signal before going for it. I’ve had speeds up to 700Mbps and consistently above 400, but I am near to a mast. Unfortunately at the moment they have been working on that mast for 3 weeks and I’m getting intermittent service. Their only response is they don’t know when it will improve, I can cancel if I like, and to only ring back in a week if it’s still not OK!

I've had this for the past month while I'm waiting for fibre to be installed hopefully later this month.
I'm waiting for my 3rd hub to be delivered as the first 2 won't pick up 5g. Using the exact same SIM in the exact same place in my phone I get 500 Mbps download, but won't connect to 5g when in hub.
Technically team spent ages on phone but concluded it was a faulty hub again.
On their forums it's seems quite a few exchanges have taken place with this problem.
Luckily it's still ok picking up 4+ for now and I won't have it long. (edited)

Unreliable 5G, even when the website says you are in a good coverage zone. Customer service is like talking to Internet scamers from India. You have been advised

Can you get a free sim to check coverage on phone or would you need to buy data as well?

Honestly, for 20£ I couldn’t ask for better

I had this, speeds were amazing but like the other guy service was intermittent for over a week or two. Cancelled within 30 days. They ask you to return the router within 4 days otherwise they would charge you, despite multiple calls, chats And service tickets I've not received a return label. There are multiple threads when you Google this issue but I haven't seen any yet where they bill you for failing to return it. I'm now either waiting for a return label/bag, bill or a call from their debt collectors.

Very good 24 month deal for unlimited 5g. Router has to be returned after?Are they locked to 3 anyway?

I wonder how good it is if you gaming online in 5G network? I had 4G router couple of years ago. Speed was OK but ping in games like Battlefield could go up to 999 ,so I stopped play online.

I'm premium quidco subscriber but only showing as £60 cashback on my app

Is there a full refund if signal and download speeds are rubbish on this?

Can the sim be put into a phone for a mobile personal hotspot?

Don't do it!
Our router constantly drops out. We got a new one and I thought it may be been some dodgy firmware, so I disabled auto update... It forces through an update anyway, which broke the router so it drops out 4 to 6 times a day again. Very annoying.

Separately, our speed was 150Mb/s a few months ago. Now it's more like 10Mb/s.

Seriously, don't get this piece of junk.

Could I use this in a camper van away from home?

Say not available in my area. Isn’t that sim router can work anywhere if you phone sim getting signlas?

I really don't understand this, showing it's not available in my area but I do have 4g three broadband now and it's around 100 Mbps so surely this would just switch to 4g while 5g isn't available?

It depends where you are located in London what’s your 5G signal like. I am getting 900-1000mb 5G on iPhone but via this router only shows 280-360 on average. It spikes to 500 occasionally. You can connect external antenna to boost signal.

For online gaming it’s not ideal unless you connect via Ethernet cable to router.

Im able to get 5G on three at my home, being fortunate enough to be close to one of their masts, but placing my postcode onto the coverage checker shows i would only be eligible for a 4G hub.
Anyone else had the same or can explain why this may be? Is this router significantly different to the tech in my phone for them to refuse availability?

Silly question - I use ID Mobile and I've just done a speed test using the app.

Can we expect similar speeds using this in the same location for home?

Just set up yesterday and getting great speeds but then I live on the second floor and reasonably near a 5G mast
Great deal

Is everyone seeing £88? I am looking at £68 with TCB and £60 with Quidco.

Quidco didn't track so we have to wait for all that rubbish, can't grumble with the speeds though.

Was in-store today and they said they can add unlimited Sims for £12.50 each. Can this be applied to our online purchase?

3 telling me they can’t supply home broadband to my new address but can do mobile broadband.
Not exactly sure why. It’s not in the middle of nowhere. It’s a flat above a business.
Has anyone used 3 mobile broadband?
Are there better mobile broadband suppliers.
I don’t really want to tether my phone. Unless I have no other option. (edited)
