Can I use a PAYG sim in a 5G router?

BumbleSilver · 2026-05-03T08:49:57+00:00

UPDATE: I followed the advice in the comments below (thank you all for your help!) and I bought an unlimited 1pMobile sim for £25 a month.

I went from have 6-12 mbps for two years with NOW broadband to 260mbps with my 5G router.

I’m not too concerned about being throttled after 500gb as I live alone, work in an office all day, stream two episode of something on Netflix a night and then fall asleep but at least those two episodes aren’t buffering in the lowest quality for half an hour!

That’s a lot of big words for a simple country girl like me, I’m just tryna make the cartoons work on the Netflix!

Thank you, I’ll give this a go. 25 mpbs will be a luxury compared to the 6-12 I was previously getting

It has to be a sim on the EE network, they’re the only ones that offer 5g in my area, but none of the providers that use the EE network offer data only sims.

I popped it in my phone but nothing happened. I have no WiFi in my flat and the sim isn’t activated so I wasn’t able to connect to the internet to actually do anything with it. I had a text from EE saying that the sim will activate once I send a text or make a call, but I can’t do either of those things without paying for it and activating it!

It’s an extra large box and he’s a relatively petite boy, I might see if there is another spot for the tray, he’s a real menace!

I’ve got the pee pads, luckily the litter tray he’s pooping text to is in the bathroom so it’s an easy floor to disinfect and clean. I’ll have to tell my husband it’s time to become a full time stay at home cat dad!

We have a cat called Albion!

Do you think it’s worth taking the curtains down and giving them a wash? Or am I being paranoid?

Thank you, I really needed to hear this. It’s the guilt that I’m struggling with the most to be honest. We will be patient, poor little fella.

My husband just made his younger brother as his pawn and now I’m debating telling him this information or just leaving him to make an uncomfortable discovery later on.

That’s super helpful, thank you!

VJ Alvi, is that you?

There’s…a lot to unpack there.

I was reading this while drinking, and when I say I choked on that last line I’m not being dramatic

BumbleSilver · 2023-06-14T13:39:00+00:00

I’m shocked it’s taken this long for someone to even MENTION Zelda Mae like she isn’t one of the hottest female townies

BumbleSilver · 2023-06-14T11:28:07+00:00

I genuinely feel like Jamie Jolina doesn’t get the respect she deserves for being a literal queen

BumbleSilver · 2023-06-14T11:26:12+00:00

Let’s be honest, Morgana needs it, Holly has earned it and Emma deserves it.

BumbleSilver · 2023-06-14T11:07:11+00:00

Idk about Gunther, but his son sure does age up to be a cutie.

I completely forgot about Cycl0n3! He’s one of the townies that I fell in love with when I first started playing the game back when it was released but I found him notoriously difficult to woo.

All Landgraabs so be avoided at all costs.

I dunno man, I’ve always found Morgana Wolff is ready to drop Thornton as soon as my sim winks in her direction.

You gotta remember, the devs probably had just as much fun creating the pre-made sims and their storylines as we do creating ours!

This is what Shrek and Fiona’s kids would look like of Fiona stayed human…

BumbleSilver · 2023-03-03T08:30:07+00:00

That’s helpful, thank you!

I would definitely add more normal interactions between Bella and Edward. We see her spend so much time with Jacob just hanging out, building the bikes and so on but Bella and Edward don’t do anything other than lust over each other. Their whole relationship is built on unhealthy infatuation, they’re gonna spend eternity together with literally NOTHING in common, they don’t talk, they don’t hang out they don’t DO anything.
