• sounds like velocio is using a mobile SIM

    I am.

    It was a total screw up.

    I asked for a Home-Fi in-store, they didn't have a Home-Fi unit, so I tried to order online, saw the SIM deal (£20 for unlimited data), ordered it... but no Home-Fi so ordered that, put the SIM in and up and running.

    However... it's not classed as a Home-Fi contract, so it's a mobile contract, and unlimited does not mean that because the throttling kicked in earlier than I expected.

    I spoke to their phone support, and no way out of the contract (ordered online but only noticed throttling on day 15) and they don't count it as mis-sold even though I was led down the path I followed by their shop and online.

    I just didn't pay enough attention and only discovered it later.

    Now it's just an open Wi-Fi route, I'll pay the contract and cancel ASAP and just let the students next door view their porn through it. I've configured it to be an open Wi-Fi point and anything that gets me kicked off the contract is good.

  • I'm still confused by Three's position on this.

    Why are they concerned about use in a router when they allow you to tether using their mobile contracts? Bugs the hell out of me.

    When you look at the cost of data bolt ones for Three Homefi, it makes EE Home 4G service look cheap. I think Three want £20 for 5GB!
