Mobile Broadband FAQs

What is mobile broadband?
Mobile broadband is internet access delivered via a 4G or 5G mobile network rather than a fixed phone line. You use a SIM card in a MiFi router, dongle or compatible router to connect multiple devices to the internet wirelessly.
How fast is mobile broadband UK?
With Silux Mobile on Three's 5G network, typical download speeds range from 50-150Mbps on 4G and up to 300Mbps on 5G. This is fast enough for 4K streaming, video calls, gaming and working from home.
Is mobile broadband better than fibre?
Mobile broadband is often faster to set up (no engineer needed), more flexible (30-day contracts), portable, and can be cheaper than fibre. It's ideal for renters, rural areas, temporary accommodation and people who move frequently. For very heavy data use, fibre may still be preferable.
Can I get unlimited mobile broadband?
Yes — Silux Mobile offers unlimited data mobile broadband plans on Three's 5G network. No data caps, no speed throttling after a certain usage point.
What equipment do I need for mobile broadband?
You need a 4G or 5G router, MiFi device, or USB dongle that accepts a SIM card. Many customers use their existing router if it has a SIM card slot. We can advise on compatible hardware.
Does mobile broadband work in rural areas?
Yes — Three's network covers 99% of the UK population outdoors. Mobile broadband is often the only viable high-speed internet option for properties in rural areas where fibre or cable isn't available.
Will my broadband price increase during my contract?

Are broadband upgrades free?
Yes. Silux Mobile offers free broadband upgrades — move to a faster plan or upgrade your router with no upgrade fee. Free upgrades are included as standard.
