Yup, OP is from the UK. In the UK I got a ThreeUK business SIM for £49 that lasted 2 years with 500GB data. It sits in wan failover and manages about 50mbps which is perfect to keep most services running.

Very much location dependent though. I lived less than a mile from Southampton city centre for a while and could never get anything close to dial-up standard download/upload speeds. I've heard similar from London residents.
Yeah definitely. Where I am the coverage and speeds are decent on most networks.
https://bidb.uk/ is an awesome tool for looking at both broadband and mobile providers with good (but not perfect) coverage data for both.
Is that £49 a month, or £49 for the 500GB data? Sounds useful!
Mine was £49 one off for 500GB renewed each month for 2 years. Here's another example: https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/three-500gb-preloaded-5g-da...
I had no idea consumers were being so ripped off lol.
