Exactly, i am looking at all my reoccurring outgoings in at attempt to reduce them. For example I am probably going to ditch sky sports and bt sports because I just don’t watch them that much. I’m Not doing this because I’m skint but when I’ve totalled up all my fixed outgoings, it’s pretty scary to say the least. I’m not struggling for money, that’s not the driver here. I just want to get my monthly costs down to a more sensible number (well as it can be with the mortgage and other bills). I own two expensive performance cars so that will be another area I will be looking at. I thought this place would be a good to get a good answer regarding broadband.
To answer some questions in this thread :
- yes I own the iPhone X outright
- yes three allow tethering and they changed it recently so it’s unlimited
- no I don’t have a copper line. Fttp only. Phone goes through fibre through some converter in my house
I am already on the absolute best haggled fibre deal with bt. Regarding the suggestion to get one of these Huawei home routers and SIM cards... I’ve considered that, However, it then defeats the point as that doesn’t save much compared to just paying an extra fiver on my phone bill for unlimited data.
I use my sisters Netflix.
So it sounds like the main concerns with using 4g tethered as home broadband are:
4g May not be fast enough to stream Netflix
And
iPhone battery life (as someone said above I’d leave it plugged in all the time)
