Replace home broadband with mobile plan?

[The_Davis]

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

Oh just use phone to double as hotspot? Lidat will drain phone battery right?

Go hawker centre use the wireless@sgx not bad I've tried at my area. Some more gotch free ceiling fan to cool down.

Ya these 2 days without broadband I went hawker to enjoy free wireless

some people are doing this but i don't recommend.
i recommended chiu mobile broadband is for temporary use only.

lag and connectivity etc.... your viewing experience will be affected.

1 video take about 400mb....
my monthly household use about 300gb data.

then if u got smart devices... then more complication to deal with.

if u dun believe, u can try out.... since they are contract-less

Singapore has world's cheapest fibre home broadband $20+/month only. Mobile data won't be as stable and fast as fibre, how much can you realistically save?
Unless you are talking about commercial shop / small office where the broadband charges are easily $100+, then it's worthwhile to consider mobile data

 

[Visor9999]

Is this viable???

any plans that is value for $ to consider?

For gamers not available since many games already 150gb and above per download

Ya but if I cancel means cannot get back the plan

but if I cancel, I got budget to get the giga plan lol

up to 2TB if roll over. Maybe I should try Sia..

external device may be ok ......

run too much data on phone it gets hot

 

[elf108]

Good for short term rental stay light usage. Even stream youtube on tv with mobile sim is laggy

5g tether still laggy ah

 

[wongminmin]

u may feel fast on the phone itself.

but when u put inside Mobile Broadband router or using it as hotspot.... it run slower than stated. lol

then the equipment/phone used to transmit will get hot too, lower its lifespan. may need to change time to time.

then some places the 5g coverage cui or lags during peak hours.

so best to test out first before cancel your home broadband.

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.

Btw got come with free router ah?

It’s either this or I switch to simba 10gbps plan lol

When I watch Shopee Livestreams for 1+ hr on my hp, it will be hot.

So I suggest U either buy a spare hp as hotspot or sim router for TV etc ( both never try b4).

 

[sacredrays]

watch/ stream videos usually consume the most data. play games not much unless it start to download patch updates.

 

[ctstalin]

Got so hard up for money boh

3 redone 200gb SIM cards enough to cover at 10.90sgd each

 

[rubicon]

I actually do this...have the singtel 5g ultimate plan at $40 for 600gb. speeds are usually quite decent and actually better than my fiber network using myrepublic during peak hours. I use vpn for watching US shows. Using glinet spitx router

I would not recommend SIMBA for mobile data on router. I switched to Giga 1TB plan and can consistently get around 300-400 mbps on my deco x50 router, good enough for gaming,Netflix YouTube etc. I just realised I don’t fully utilise the 1TB so downgrading to the 600gb plan next month. Good thing got rollover data and I still cannot hit the cap.
