    My daughter moved into a new build in 2022 and as well as no aerial the only option for BB was BT so she got a dongle and used that with a 30GB download limit, I don't know how much it cost per month but she just buys another months usage when the 30Gb is used up, her son is always on the XBox so he goes through the limit in a few weeks but the daughter also goes online and often says there is no internet. The youngest granddaughter  is only 4 and is always on tiktok so uses loads of mobile data, I know that 4 years old is young to be on a mobile using the mobile data but she's hooked to the thing.
    Someone please tell me what money is

    Nonsense, BT have never had exclusivity on Openreach FTTP , if your daughters new build had Openreach FTTP access then every single ISP that uses OR could offer FTTP if they wanted to,

    Kloud9 offer a 100mbit package for £30 a month. Alternatively have you looked at three who have a £20 option delivered via the mobile network (obviously only any use if you have Three coverage)

    I would be surprised that continually buying capped mobile broadband works out significantly cheaper than cabled broadband.

    Also a four year old really should not being using TikTok, its against their terms for under 13 to use it and the chance of them seeing something they shouldn't is high.
