mobile BB vs Virgin

I am on a Virgin broadband only deal at 50 Mbps for £27.25 and my contract ends 8th September. I am wondering if an advanced mobile package from Three which has 'all you can eat data' for £24 a month would offer me a comparable experience. I also know that the Virgin price will go up dramatically for me unless I haggle, and I am tired of Virgin (been with them since 2008).

    What is the Three signal like at your home?

    Also, you need to check if they have a limit on tethering if that's what you are planning.

    I have a pay as you go with Three at the moment and am getting 4G coverage where I live. I don't know the limits regarding tethering but when I read through the contract it was not mentioned.

    You are only allowed 30GB via tethering, Three calls it "Personal Hotspot".
    Unless you plan to use everything on your phone, it would be better to sign up to other broadband providers.
