Hi.  Can anyone explain the difference between "Smart 5G Hub" and "5G WiFi".  As far as I can tell they offer the same mobile broadband service but at different prices?

(We are moving into a rented house for a year and I'm trying to work out the best way to access broadband.)

Thank you.  So if I want a home alternative to fixed line broadband, then the Smart 5G Hub is what I need?
