Dongle/Broadband - Unlimited Internet

    Hi all,

    Just a quick question, I'm looking to get a Kindle Fire HD8 tablet for an elderly uncle and I'd like him to have access to the internet so that he can watch Netflix, Youtube and read his books on it.

    Naturally, this will consume a lot of internet data so I was wondering if there was any decent dongles (or similar) that I could get unlimited data on for a reasonable price?

    I was considering get a cheap smart phone to use as a hotspot device and take advantage of the o2/three unlimited data when you top up €20 a month. Are there any other decent alternatives?

    Thanks

    For unlimited no. Dont use a phone though, buy an LTE router. Fire and forget.


    Vodafone have a 150GB + 100GB addon MBB package but itll be quite expensiv comparatively.

    Check that again please, I spoke to them recently about that plan, they said: it is a rigid plan, you reach 150GB, you get disconnected.
