EE have today announced the first range of 5G mobile broadband prices in the UK, this is ahead of Vodafone who switch their 5G on next week.

The HTC 5G router looks very impressive with s large 5 inch touch screen display allowing you to control with ease, and also see what data has been used.

Right now two plans are available, 50GB costing £50 a month or 100GB costing £75 a month.

Hopefully larger plans will also become available in the future, especially considering EE offer 120GB on a single handset plan, a mobile WiFi solution with multiple connections could use far more.
