02 Huawei E5330 for cafe hotspot ?

killer007

I am running a small cafe attached to my house and my current home broadband is wireless provided by a small broadband provider. While it is adequate for home use the feed I have in the cafe has been unreliable. I was thinking of switching the cafe feed to an 02 Huawei E5330 prepay as the cafe would be closed for most of the winter and I could drop the internet for a few months.02 coverage is very good and I cannot get broadband through phoneline.
Any drawbacks with this plan?

One busy day and you end up with a €300 bill...

Yeah could happen but I'm in a pretty rural spot and most customers are tourists and just want to check emails etc.

If the 02 3g coverage is good then Tesco mobile will be the same.

O2 prepay 7.5 gb for €20.00

Tesco mobile prepay 15 gb for €15.00

Yeah the Tesco Mobile option looks good! On the modem you can change the ssid to the cafe name and have the wifi network open or secured with a key! I would activate ap isolation on the modem aswell as change the default passwords on the modem!

Surely a mobile broadband will be under pressure the same way your home system is now?

Most likely mobile broadband would be much worse when alot of users begin to connect to it.
