Any Prepaid Plans for 4G with Unlimited Roaming?

IrishMetalhead

Hi, me and the wife are looking to get a camper next year.

We'll be traveling around the country first but eventually we'll want to travel around the EU.
I've done my research in regards of having internet while we travel, going to pick up a 4G LTE router and a prepaid sim but I'm having a awful time trying to find a prepaid plan that would be suitable for my needs.
Don't want to go with bill pay as we'll only be traveling 2 or 3 months out of the year.

I work in IT via remote access and I have a lot of work files stored on my home server in the house so I'm going to need an unlimited plan that includes unlimited EU roaming since we use close to 1TB of data a month due to the nature of my work as well as consuming all our content online.
I've tried looking online and in my local shops but couldn't get any of help in any of them since the staff are fairly young and are only there to sell phones.
Anyone know of any network that offers the type of plan I need?

That is a lot of data for mobile broadband; my eir bill pay only allows 50Gb per month [have to use MBB as the phone line is too poor].

To be fair 1TB of data is far in excess of what most people would use, you may be better off with satellite.

You're not going to get anything remotely near 1TB on 4g that will work in all countries, even using prepaid sims for each country, the data allowances in most european countries are unbelievably stingy compared to Ireland - you'd be lucky to get 50gb without a contact in france and about 12gb without a contract in germany.

One fiscally dangerous option people from the uk use is roam with a UK three plan (only 12gb roaming allowance) and buy 'data passports' £5 for 24 hours to do the heavy lifting as needed - the second it goes over limit you'll be charged per MB though.

Read the small print of any good-looking deal - a lot of 4G plans downgrade to 3G once you're outside your home territory.

Thinking outside the box. Do you need to transfer the files from home to your laptop? Or could you transfer the files directly from home to some other server without routing the traffic to France and back? Use the remote systems via VPN instead of working on the files locally.

Usage on satellite is more restrictive than on 3g/4g
