Frequently asked questions
- How much hotspot data does a household actually need?
- Streaming in HD uses roughly 3 GB an hour, so a household watching two hours of television a night needs about 180 GB a month. Very few mobile hotspot allowances reach that; the plans here are realistic for light households, not for a family streaming every evening.
- Is a phone plan cheaper than home internet?
- It can be, because you are replacing a separate bill rather than adding one. The trade-off is a data cap and deprioritisation when the network is busy — a fixed connection does not have either.
- What happens after the hotspot allowance runs out?
- Tethering stops or drops to a very slow speed for the rest of the month, while phone data continues. The hotspot figure recorded on each plan card is the number that matters here, not the phone data allowance.
