I'm a bit wary of that given EE supposedly don't HAVE a Fair Use policy on their Unlimited plans.

That page says "All of our unlimited plans are uncapped so you can use as much data as you like, as long as it's for personal use. "

Followed by "We will consider usage above 600GB/month to be non-personal use and have the right to apply traffic management controls to deprioritise your mobile traffic during busy periods or to move you to a business plan. "

Oh, they definitely do have a Fair Usage policy.

Do you get a real IP address? (Mind you, I could L2TP into Andrews and Arnold.)

No idea, there's a couple of forum members on ispreview who have purchased it:

Edit: asked, it's CGNAT

I bought one of those SIM's and the gear to turn my APU that I bought and never used into a caravan router... Will be nice to finally be able to use that thing.

Is that even legal?  Surely arbitrarily deciding what is personal and business use is kinda dodgy, given you can pull a lot of data if you're a gamer and streamer (I'm talking personal use, not someone streaming to Twitch, etc).

Although personally I'm okay with a priority system if the service is dirt-cheap, its charging for overage that is a big nope in my book.

I'd be all on that, if it wasn't for the fact EE 5G comes off the same mast as Vodafone 5G and O2 5G, which is outdoors-only here.  Its not worth having to buy an outdoor antenna, given I'm trying to minimise routes for lightening into the house as storms are getting more common with climate change.

Has it arrived yet?

I bought a similar one via Amazon (10.50 per month, ends a few months after this one too).

It works fine. No fixed IP, it's CGNAT. Speeds not as high as Three, but around here EE's 4G is much better than Three, so it's an acceptable trade-off.

The 600GB FUP apparently isn't a hard limit, but it's annoying not to know the real limit or how many times we can pass the 600GB mark before having problems.

I don't know if EE considers these to be consumer or business plans as it's ScanCom that "adds" unlimited data to the SIM every month. It doesn't seem to be the traditional plan we get from EE.

For me EE started getting slower roughly about half a year after BT's takeover, and is now nowhere near its original 4G speeds.  I wonder how slow things will get now if word of this sim spreads.
