This little box offers unlimited 5G for an incredible € 50 per month

Vodafone introduced the Gigacube 5G, a recently tested evolution of the Gigacube 4G. The device, a refurbished Huawei B818, can deliver download speeds of up to 1 Gbps to 64 devices simultaneously and over a distance of 90 meters. The mobile operator says the service is "perfect for small businesses that have multiple employees, both streaming and downloading." Vodafone's coverage is currently limited to seven UK cities and will be extended to a dozen more by the end of the year. The Gigacube 5G supports 802.11ac and 802.11ax Wi-Fi networks, the latter offering 4GHz 4x5 MIMO. There are two Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports and two external antenna ports. Vodafone does not charge extra for 5G connectivity; Unlimited data is billed at €50 per month, which means you can upgrade to a better router, too. However, you have to pay €50 upfront and this requires you to sign an 18-month contract. Note that the GigaCube and its bundle are not eligible for international roaming and all data can only be used in the UK on the Vodafone network, which is a shame. By comparison, Three offers Huawei HomeFi for just over €20 per month (effective cost after promotion) on a two-year contract. You get unlimited 4G data and Go Roam, allowing you to use your budget in dozens of countries around the world.
