Mobile Broadband dish

Hi,

I'm living at a rural property in South Wales with Plusnet broadband giving 1.5Mbps and paying £40/month for the privilege.

The Welsh government are making grants available for £800 for the installation of broadband equipment with the stipulation that the download speed must exceed 30 Mbps. The best solution would be to have a company fit a dish on the outside of the house - this has been trialed and I was getting 130+ Mbps. This includes a router for inside the house.

What would I need from EE to make this work? Would I just need a monthly SIM only package? Or would I need a Wifi Hub as well?

Thanks

You would need 1 of Mobile broadband . They come with a SIM on a monthly contract.

Hi @Dionjames

Get Starlink if you live that rural.

Thanks
