ownself do evaluation how much data needed per day for you usual practice.
est. 10GB a day should be enough for youtube and online drama and surfing whole day

Running one in a mancave.

Signed up for Giga 1TB data plan. $28/month. Used as wifi.

Wifi speed seems very decent, good enough to do one thing e.g stream Netflix . Dun bother multitasking doing upload/download and streaming on TV.

App monitors the usage.

Home broadband is actually reasonable and better..

But for small commercial spaces where commercial broadband is ******* expensive, sim card can be viable option depending on usage.

What do you mean by home broadband is reasonable?
Nowadays home broadband is crap and after my recent downtime for 2 days, looking for alternative that is cheaper and better . Paying almost $31 per month now and speed only 200mbps max

For a start can try let ur phone be a hotspot and switch ur home devices to the network to trial few days and see if it works.

When I upload stuffs to cloud GIGA 5g cannot support PC browser loading .. maybe other providers can.

Also TVs etc tend to stream e.g Netflix at much higher bitrates and 4k vs HD/720p for smartphones.

Ultimately depends on usage habits.

What equipment do other than that 5g sim router and sim plan?

 

[trupurple]

Many provider impose limit on Data routers. I've tried it. Wasted my money buying sim modem and very expensive if 5g. Cheaper to tether from HP

Some routers support phone line, buy phone if u need calling.

Sms usually via router web interface
