VDSL router with auto fallback to 3G stick

I would like to buy a router with:

VDSL/ADSL and perhaps 'cable'.
AC Wifi
1000mbps ethernet ports
Automatic fallback to a USB 3G stick.

One possibility appears to be the Asus DSL-AC56U which both Origin BB and Currys sell for £89.99

Is there anything else I should consider?

If at all possible I would like to move from an ADSL ISP to an FTTC ISP without being physically present.

AIUI the modem component of ASUS kit isn't well regarded. As opposed to the routers which are good stuff.

The Billion 8900AX ticks all your boxes. It aint cheap at 250 notes but this is one of the very few 4 stream 802.11ac modem/routers around.

As Bob says stay away from Asus combined modem/routers, they're notorius for messing up your sync rate on FTTC (d/t regular disconnections). Draytek is another good brand but the 802.11ac coverage on their routers is nothing special, for example they don't even have a 4 stream router out yet.

Thank you for the replies.

So I could buy a cheaper Asus router which does pretty much what I want, but just fails on the most important feature by not being able to hold a fast stable DSL connection or I can spend more than double the money on a Billion or Draytek product.

Fortunately I can defer the decision until the end of the summer when my present ADSL (not 2 or 2+) contract expires.

You could consider something like

TP-LINK VR200 (about £80)

All exchanges will have been upgraded to ADSL2+ by the end of 2018.

Thank you for telling me that. Most useful, as I am only 1300m from the exchange. That would give me a better speed.

The exchange is WNTRB. Any idea how I find out when that specific exchange might be upgraded?

Thank you. That does look quite suitable.

The Draytek 2760 does this - at about £100 without wifi and get a separate AC access point.
