What is mobile broadband?
If you have slow internet at home, or live in an area not covered by our fibre broadband, then mobile broadband could be the answer. It’s a portable wireless modem that transforms our 4G & 5G networks into WiFi – connecting all your mobile devices in seconds.

Mobile Broadband is now available on our new 5G network, but 5G isn’t available everywhere just yet – if not, your modem will automatically swap to 4G.

• Get faster mobile broadband speeds than ever before.
