I used my phone as a hotspot at home for about three years, back in 2012. I had great 4G signal and an unlimited data package with Three Mobile. Back then it just wasn't worth getting a separate broadband contract, as it wouldn't have been any faster. The only caveat is, make sure you have your phone on charge.
And for the last year, I've had a 4G wifi router through 3 which has been great. It's much easier to connect other devices eg wifi printer, and gadgets etc. I'd recommend going down the 5G wifi hub. Three mobile have a 5G wifi router with unlimited data for £30 with a 24 month contract which isn't bad at all, considering the speed.
For some reason Vodafone are the only ones who can offer me a 5G router, despite there being good 5G signal where I am. I spoke to Three and they could only offer me a 4G one. I don’t mind keeping a phone on charge all the time so I think I’m gonna try that option first and see how I go

I think 5G is very provider and postcode specific. I've moved recently within the SW15 postcode area. Could only get 4G previously with Three mobile, and now have 5G signal just 2.2km away.
