Even if you do have good coverage, if you’re looking at 4G then the speeds you get won’t match or even come close to the fastest fibre broadband speeds. So if these services are available to you and super high speeds matter then 4G home broadband might not be for you– though 5G home broadband could still be an option. The Broadband installation service is a standalone service and separate from your contract for the BT Broadband Service. When you replace hubs or boxes, or leave BT, please return those items to us. If the kit is not returned, you may be liable for a charge. Details of charging can be found on the Tariff Guide. For one thing, while you’re typically tied into a fixed line contract for twelve months or more, with 5G or 4G home broadband you can often get plans that are as short as 30 days. These add-ons run on a 30 day rolling contract until you cancel them. When you first buy an Add-On, it lasts until the date of your next BT Mobile bill. It covers minutes or data used over your inclusive plan allowance, up to the allowance for that Add-On, from your last BT Mobile bill until your next one. Add-On allowances reset at the start of each billing month. You can only have one data and one minutes Add-On at any one time

Similarly, when you choose 4G home broadband, you don't need a phone line. Plus, there's no need for an engineer to visit your home. As no cables are required, setup is simple. All you need to do is put a SIM card in the router and plug it in.The whole process only takes a couple of minutes. Extra Box: One box per customer.

Plus, short contracts that offer you greater flexibility are available.

So 4G home broadband is slightly slower than most fibre connections, but still decently fast, while 5G home broadband can compete with the very fastest fibre options. What networksoffer4G and 5G home broadband? With Extra Speed, the maximum speed available through the network is capped at 60 Mbps rather than 30 Mbps on our standard 4G. The speeds you get on your phone will be lower, and depend on things like the number of users, distance from the mast and the type of 4G phone you have. This add on is valid from the moment you buy it and then runs on a 30 day rolling contract. Extra Speed is not available on BT Business Mobile plans. You must have a 5G enabled device on the Vodafone 5G network, a Vodafone 5G plan and 5G coverage in the area that you are in. Coverage may be affected by a number of factors.
