Avoided broadband disaster thanks to a lesser-known Wi-Fi alternative. Fast and worked great with Netflix.

5G and 4G home broadband uses the wireless networks typically used by mobiles. The 5G GigaCube is easy to set up. You need to insert a SIM card into the hub and plug it into power. Within a few minutes green lights should start to flash next to 4G and/or 5G – depending on what’s available in your area – which signifies that you’re ready to go. The 5G GigaCube delivered pretty fast speeds – when it connected. And for the most part, it did stay connected but there were moments were service would very briefly dropout. Speeds varied quite widely, which is not unheard of for traditional broadband too. The 5G GigaCube is available at various price points for different needs. Both the 4G version and 5G one offer a 200GB data plan at £40 per month. The 5G GigaCube has an unlimited option for £60 per month. There are 24-month contracts and 30-day rolling plans, which only differ in terms of upfront cost (a long term unlimited contract has no upfront cost while the rolling plans incur a hefty £175 one-off fee).
