I think it is likely a limit of your location. Really all you can do is try PAYG SIMS from all the big companies - no point going asda, tesco etc as they use the likes of EE and O2.

Its pretty odd seeming I live in the city centre. Yeah thats the idea I had in mind. Ive bought the Huawei B535 router, was working pretty well when I tried it a few days go (I took it out on contract to test it with an Three SIM). Do SIM cards have any effect on the data speeds? Cause I was thinking about even taking out a mobile broadband contract with EE just to test it seeming then have really good coverage of my area. Just pricey.

SIM cards have no effect, just the provider and network.

Okay, so im gonna stick with the router ive purchased, and going to try a EE PAYG SIM, see what speeds I get, but once I put the SIM into the router wont the device be then locked to that network.

No, a device is either hardware locked when you buy it, or it’s unlocked. Depends where you bought it as to weather it will be locked or not. 3 don’t lock their devices, O2 do, don’t know about others.

Everything is sorted and im settled with EE on my Huawei router. Around 20-25ms and 75-90Mb/s, very chuffed.

That's pretty impressive ping rates, and decent speeds also.

Can I ask what model of Huawei router you have? This is still something I'm interested in doing in the nearish future.

It may or may not speed up your internet page resolution, not sure what DNS EE use, but it certainly helped with O2 and Three.

If you set a custom DNS of 1.1.1.1 with a backup of 1.0.0.1. That's Cloudflare's service. They only keep logs for 24Hours, so it's very secure, it's also a lot faster than even Google's DNS.
