    try a sim card for each network before you take the plunge. The coverage maps show that I should get decent 4g from every provider, but in reality only Vodafone give me a decent signal, so I use a Lebara sim in my 4g Router - unlimited data £25 p/m, or £22.50 if you commit to 12 months.
  • If doing away with landline only then get a free calls plan on something mobile. My ISP charges weekdays meaning I never use it, just use giffgaff. But it is included in my plan whether I use it or not (seems to be a free add on).
    Personally if I was going down the mobile data route I would use a Draytek or similar rather than branded smart hub. You can fit sims of choice, add aerials (to receive the 4g etc.) and repeaters to them but they come at a price. But they are well appointed but probably need a bit of knowledge to drive them. They are not really plug and play.

    I'd agree the Draytek are high spec and overkill for most peoples needs (I have one as I've worked from home for several years), I've used the TP-link Archer MR600 which is as near plug & play as you're likely to get and works very well with 4G streaming.
