Fiber 2 vs 4G broadband

Options
I currently has BT Fiber 2 broad. I noticed Three is providing 4G broadband at half the monthly cost.

I wonder if anyone switched from fiber to 4G broadband? How was the experience?

I currently have Three's mobile too. When I tether from mobile I didn't notice any difference in streaming quality however, downloading large files take longer with 4G compared to Fiber internet.

Is the 4G broadband from Three exactly same as turning tethering on my Three mobile SIM?
Happiness is buying an item and then not checking its price after a month to discover it was reduced further.

    Yes is the simple answer.  The speed of 4G depends how good your mobile signal is.

    I use Vodafone 4g as my provider (rural area) and have 3 laptops, smart tv and several smart plugs working from it with no issues.You may find a dedicated router with an external aerial gives you a better signal than a phone but if the speed on your mobile is good enough for you, then a router almost certainly will be.
