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
I think more than 10gb.i see 5 minutes mewatch already 100 mb

Just my opinion. after having dabbled with 4G/5G routers and SIMs;

If I were to start over again. in terms of $ cost effectiveness.
I would buy the deco x50-4G wifi 6 ($250), and the $5 300GB Simba data-only plan. If I have not enough data, I'll just buy another $5 data-only plan.

Be happy with 4G, wifi 6 is more important, in terms of throughput.

Not necessary to have 5g in your opinion?

Based on my last download test result:

deco X50- 5G wifi 6, AX3000 router
download with SImba at 4G ~ 100Mbps
download speed with giga 5G ~ 100Mbps

mr600 (4G) wifi 5, AC1200 router
download test with Simba at 4G ~ 70Mbps

I'm a bit surprised the giga 5G wasn't a whole lot faster.
