Unlimited mobile internet - what options do I have?

I am going to look after / live on my brothers canal boat for 12 months, while he goes travelling. So I need a really good mobile internet plan.

I suppose I use about 12GB of data a day from a landline connection, as I enjoy streaming movies for many hours and uploading my own videos to youtube. Problem is most of the plans for mobile internet I have seen have got tiny data allowances.

As I will be living on the boat for 12 months and can't have a fixed line, what options do I have?

    Ah. I updated it with the affiliate link I found. That should work.

    It seems Three don't publicise these deals on their website. :-/
  • Sorry but the link is not working. Are you sure this is definitely unlimited. And it is not just called "unlimited" with some stupid cap?

    I cant see any mobile provider letting you use over 380Gb per month.
    Most, if not all will have a fair use policy and will view that ammount of data as excessive.

    Do you have access to the internet at work at all?

    I don't want to have to go out just to use the internet. I tend to spend most of my evenings streaming video. Especially if you stream 4k, you eat up data fast. I also run a few websites where I upload a lot of content. That's why I was looking for totally unmetered.

    Does anyone know any business plans that may get me what I want?
