    Hello!
    My question sounds simple. Is it profitable to give up home internet (50GB) and make a router from a phone with unlimited internet? Will it have a very big impact when downloading files or watching movies online on a laptop?

    The phone will quickly discharge and heat up when working as a wi-fi router. We don't know what internet you have now, what connected it, what phone, so it's hard to answer your question. In general, the main purpose of the phone is a little different .....

    Occasional use of the phone as a router OK
    But for a permanent no, you need an LTE router, multum option.

    I currently have a 50GB LTE internet package from the Plus network at home. The phone I have is iPhone 5 on the Play network. In a few months in Play'em the contract ends and for extension I wanted to take a package with unlimited internet. And this is how I wonder if it could not eliminate the home Internet. I don't know much about such matters. The fact that the phone I have very quickly heats up as long as it is used not only for purposes as a router ... The only thing I do on a laptop with the help of the Internet is watching movies (it's the most) and from time to time downloading various files and standard web browsing.

    The Plus on 3G has a 50GB limit, on LTE you should have up to 150Mbps without a funnel. What is your equipment, speed, you use 3G or LTE, if LTE is LTE800Sferii or LTE1800Aero2, what is your opinion about this network? at Play in voice offers no-limit package up to 10GB max and then 1Mb / s funnel What is the location, what range in Play, what speeds?
