How many devices are connected to the Internet in your Home

That should say more than, or equal to 12 devices. Sorry about that.

I appear to have Luddite tendencies because mine is the bog standard phone,  tablet, laptop and desktop. Not all at the same time, obviously.

There's no obvious connection to consumer rights here?

It really depends on how you determine connected.

Over 40 devices communicate with the internet, but my ISP would not know about them as it would only see one, being the router as everything else is nat'd and running across a VPN.

I assume this is in relation to your other thread about using 4G/5G individual user SIM in a router for internet rather than either proper 5G or FTTC/FTTP broadband. 

Done the right way, the Mobile provider will not see how many devices are attached either.

Completely agree.


Another pointless poll!

The OP believes there is in that a mobile provider has a clause which says you can't connect more than 12 devices to their Essentials mobile plan as they want to use it for broadband services.

Does OP envisage telling their provider that x% of anonymous strangers responding to an online poll are in a similar position and so they should reconsider their stance?!

Well

1. They don't state that

2. Even if a poster has more than 12 devices connected, they may have a different contract or a different internet provider

3. It is technically not a poll, it is asking for facts not opinion

It should also say "fewer than 12 devices", not "less than..."

And I'm not going to vote, because I don't think the results of the poll are going to be of any use to you.

Would have been better tagged on your other thread.
There is not really a answer, as devices are not all used at same time or remain connected all the time.

As I said, EE have a dedicated tariff for what you are using SIM for. 🤷‍♀️
