Thanks. Didn't even know 5G routers were a thing. None of the providers can get close to £26 a month for unlimited data though. 100gb a month might be ok, but EE want £75 a month for that, Vodafone want £30 plus £100 up front. I might just order the cheapest phone through Virgin and give it a go for the 14 day cooling off period and see how the experience is.

I spent a while using a spare phone as my main internet connection. I had the phone tethered to a mini router (this kind of thing https://smile.amazon.co.uk/s?k=travel+router&ref=nb_sb_noss_1 ) and used that for the network at home.
That meant that I could use a proper router and wi-fi setup rather than relying on the phone hotspot.

It's worth checking the 5g signal first in the place if your phone can do it or borrow a mates but it would probably be worth getting a 5g wifi hub so you don't need to have a phone running as a hotspot all day. On Three you can get an unlimited data sim on a 1 month rolling contract for £26 a month although 5g wifi routers aren't exactly cheap so could be better to get a 12 month contract with a free one instead.
