Is EE 4G Smart Hub Any Good ?

I have never used mobile broadband but am seriously considering a 4G smart hub from EE at £50 a month. I am in an excellent coverage area according to the EE website. The price is not an issue and I want a call centre in the UK or Ireland.

I only use my existing fully copper broadband for light internet use and streaming TV at 1080P quality. My existing broadband is being switched off as I am unfortunately in a fully FTTP area.

As the EE 4G smart hub will be connected to the mains 24 hours a day like my old “normal” router is, would this be OK. And would the signal be reliable ? I am not too concerned about low speeds on occasions, but would not want the service to drop completely.

Can you advice if it is likely to be as reliable etc as my existing Broadband..
Thanks.

If your truly considering boycotting FTTP and going to Mobile broadband you really need to test what network provider gives you the strongest and stable signal in the location where you want to locate the router. The strongest may be EE or may be one of the other main networks, once you find the best network get your own mobile router and choose the best contract that suits you for that network.

No one can predict how good a signal you will get from one day to the next, I was on Mobile broadband for a couple of years and I couldn't wait to move to FTTP.

the speed will be variable, and your mobile router can swap between masts, which may mean lower or higher speeds. If you live in a hoilday destionation, peak hoilday season will mean changes to the speed.
