As my fiber optic contract is about to expire, I consider not renewing it and using a portable WiFi router with a SIM card instead. I know that the speeds are not the same, but for my needs it would not be a bad idea.
I am currently a Sunrise customer, and I see on their website that there is the ‘We Connect Surf’ option which provides a 5G internet connection up to 100Mbps. I am considering this, but when I call them, they say that this is not recommended for a WiFi router (a TP-Link for example). They insist on saying ‘not recommended’, which makes me think that it would work fine, just not as fast as a fiber optic connection. Does anyone have any experience with this?
Alternatively, do you have any data SIM recommendation to be used with a TP Link WiFi router for internet connections at home? Ideally with no SIM/activation fees and no minimum contract duration? I could use my mobile phone and create a hotspot/tethering, but this would be my last option as this drains the battery like crazy and I would effectively need to have it always plugged in.
