threeputt. Ppl think I'm mad when I tell them I haven't got broadband at home, but based on our internet usage/TV habits, I was able to eliminate Virgin media plus £60pm by switching to freeview and using EE's fastest 4G deal. I have an old mobile under the kitchen table acting as a permanent router i.e. hot spot always on, so we have WiFi. I have that on EEs smallest contract (i negotiated down) 250mb £6pm, plus mine and my wife's mobiles approx 20gb each pm set up on black Friday for half price. Once a month i 'gift' data to the £6pm SIM in the phone under the kitchen table which means the kids can watch their 30mins of YouTube/BBC iPlayer everyday (if they finish their dinner!) and the remainder is more than enough for me and my wife's phones. All in all instead of paying £40pm for mobiles + £60 for Virgin media, I pay £40pm for mobile. The point is 4G mobile broadband is fast enough for video streaming now, even HD. Cables will become a thing of the past. Check out Verizon speed tests for Satellite driven 5G roll out. 3 to 4 times faster than Google's v expensive fibre
