Has it arrived yet?

Yes, all good.

I have a pcengines APU2 lying around (shamefully purchased but never used), that had a SIM slot in it, and I have a static caravan that has very good EE coverage. Useful to not drain mobile phone batteries with tethering, so I threw a Huawei 4G modem in it, and right now sat at my desk I've got 74/11 through it. The APU is running opnsense. Working great!

So I moved to OpenWRT as that purportedly has better performance. And indeed, it's managed 70Mbps in some downloads that I have tried, but SSH could only manage 30Mbps. Not sure why because that traffic should not be inspected so not quite sure why that is low.

I am going to try a TP-Link 4G Router and see if that performs more consistently. But so far, pretty pleased. Works fine.

Only 1 day in but had no issues so far.

How do you monitor the data usage?  The Scancom portal does not show this.

No idea how to monitor usage, someone over on ispreview forum has already done the 600gb fair usage and not been restricted yet so?

They don't have a place to monitor usage.

I asked them if I could add the SIM to my own EE account, but that doesn't work because the SIM is part of their EE account. Their support recommended using a 3rd party app to monitor usage, but I don't know if that works (maybe on Android, but does iOS allow this? and this assumes we're using a phone/tablet).

On my Android phones I can see how much data I've used (currently at ~250GB), set alerts, etc, so that's what I'll use. Since I don't know how strict EE is about this 600GB limit, I bought the SIM as if they were selling a "600GB plan", not an "unlimited plan". Someone should go after EE for selling "unlimited" with low limits...

Scancom support told me to contact them if I had any issues with the SIM, so if EE decides to do something, maybe they can fix the problem if there's a good reason (eg: SIM is in a router and you can't see the usage)?

I do not think I will have an issue with 600GB, I only stream and game with the occasion torrent for that hard to find movie.

I do not understand how something can be described as unlimited though when it is not.

or have used 600GB of data twice within a 6 month period.

Isn't filtering ICMP on IPv6 an incorrect implementation as ICMP is mandatory?

Do you want me to enable ICMP on my firewall?
