Yeah I agree, but unlimited data at home can cost a fair bit, whats the general cost for internet at home, £35 +. So if mobile providers do the same it surely will cost similar.
Be interesting to see how it does.
I already pay similar for my airtime with o2 for 50GB. Now, I appreciate o2 are a touch expensive however, I rate their support every time I've needed them so prepared to pay a bit more.
I remember the days where you could get an unlimited data contract with o2 and it was a sensible price circa £20pm + handset charge and I think my handset was a BB Storm 2 totalling around £45pm. There wasn't half as much data crippling services available and streaming content to your mobile was unheard of.
I know the providers limit data caps now for this exact reason, they don't want people chewing up bandwidth for non-mobile related tasks for the likes of calls/texts etc. when actually the advent of collaboration and UC to mobile platforms means users need more bandwidth. The switch off of traditional telephony in 2025 should encourage the providers to again properly uncap limits and invest in their infrastructure to support those extra demands.
5G has too short a range requiring line of sight to be useful in any other environment except heavily built up areas where the volume of antenna can be increased to generate very high bandwidths. Average towns won't see any benefit as they wont be throwing up lots of 5G antennas in proximity of each other so 4G should be bolstered as the dominant network.
