With strict lockdowns and self-isolation rules now fully in place, the installation of broadband has quickly become a mammoth task. Of course, if you have a phone line, most providers will supply an easy switch. If you don’t…it’s time to get creative and look at 4G home broadband deals.
Put simply, when you don’t already have a phone line set up in your property, an engineer will need to come round and install one to get your internet up and running - an obvious no-go.
For those who already have one, most broadband deals simply require plugging in your new router meaning for now you’re safe to do this. For the former group, there is an easy workaround - 4G home broadband and mobile broadband.
In essence, these are broadband routers that require no set-up. They work using SIM cards placed into routers, meaning you can skip the faff of cables, installations and other now troublesome issues.
And despite not running through traditional cables, they remain a powerful option as long as you live somewhere with strong 4G connections. You can still connect multiple devices, stream, game and work from home with ease.
Below we’ve included everything you need to know about these alternative options including the best deals, how it works and the kind of contract lengths you can get.

Best 4G home broadband and mobile broadband:
How fast is 4G home broadband and how does it work?
Unlike regular broadband, 4G home broadband operates through air waves instead of cables. In this sense, it’s more similar to the way your phone operates when using mobile data.
Also unlike regular broadband there is no set-up process needed. All you need to do is plug in the router and your internet is ready to go. That means you can use it in any part of your house.
In terms of how fast this will be, it completely depends on where you live. It is worth doing a speed test on your phone to see what kind of speeds you will be getting. It will also depend on the network that you use.
However, both 4G home broadband and mobile broadband will be faster than ADSL regular internet and in most situations, will keep up or even exceed fibre internet. This means you can stream, game and work from home with ease.
Can I get 5G home broadband?
Yes…! If you live in a 5G enabled area you will be free to get 5G home broadband. Obviously these are few and far between so check the locations that supply 5G to the network you’re choosing before you purchase - we have it all laid out on our 5G phone deals guide.
However, the good news here is that with both Three and Vodafone, all of the packages are both 4G and 5G compatible meaning you will gain the speeds of whatever area you’re in.
