SIM Only to use in my router as broadband - is it classed as tethering?

[Rumcajs997]

I am in a process of buying a property in Sale - Manchester. Just checked something that I would never think could be a problem in that area, mobile signal / broadband speeds. Apparently in that block of appartments, only EE covers 5G signal...

Now their broadband unlimited plan is pretty expensive at £55 / month, when currently I pay £25 / month for Three unlimited (and it's 1 months rolling contract instead of 24 months with EE). I wonder if it's possible to use SIM Only when I buy my own router? Is something like that classed as tethering which from what I read some say has got a limit of 120gb? Is it 120gb per month? Is the speed of something like that good enough?

I work from home mostly, so need rock solid internet. If I can't work it out, I will have to pull out from that transaction...

I'm not sure if I understand that post to be honest. Could you clarify please?

The thing you were looking at for £55 pm would have a FUP of 1 TB.

That doesn't make sense. Unlimited broadband for £55/month has got 1GB FUP? What are you talking about?

Why doesn't make it sense? It's perfect sense! One would expect the FUP for a mobile BB router to be far higher then that for a mobile phone. I know what I'm talking about & so would you had you read on!

Let's assume the 5G WiFi Router. is the unlimited data mobile router for £55 pm you have been on about thro'out this thread. Had you read on to the Legal Bit you would find:

Unlimited Plans: Personal, non-commercial use only. We will consider usage above 1000GB/month to be non-personal use and have the right to apply traffic management controls to deprioritise your mobile traffic during busy periods or to move you to a business plan.

But you wrote 1GB, 1000GB = 1Tb, that's why I didn't get it. So is it actually 1000gb or 600gb they are talking about in other topics from few months ago. Have they increased it lately?

Oh, sorry! I got my units & prefixes mixed up. A slip of the pen messed up the point I was trying to make.
