Cheapest mobile broadband backup option

    So, I'm with Vodafone broadband on a fibre connection, when it works it is great but I do get occasional problems, in the last year it was down on 4 separate occasions one of which lasted 2 days.

    I have a decent Draytek modem that can use a USB dongle as a backup to the main broadband so I am seriously thinking of using this option.

    Quite simply I am looking for the cheapest one year pay-as-you-go option for mobile broadband, my usage would potentially be very small so caps are not a problem, so far the cheapest option I can find is here:

    For €30 every 180 days I will get 50gb which should be way more than I need and a total cost of around €60 per year.

    Just wondering if anybody is aware of an even cheaper option?

    TIA

    Put €5 on three AYCE sim.
    Set AutoTopup for €20 below €2.50

    If Vodafone goes down you get unlimited data for 22.50 for 30 days. If it doesn't put another €5 on after 179 days to replenish it.
