Hi Lemmy.

I would like to get hands on some SIM for my laptop. I reside in Germany so roaming would be required.

Anyhow, I do not want to pay some amount x every months or four weeks. Instead I would like to have some old school SIM where I can use my data until its gone. 4G speed and 5 GB would be plenty.

Anyone knows of such a SIM from within your country?

Cheers.

    5G has lower latency and higher cell capacity for the same cell tower. Speed isn’t the only advancement. It’s better at maintaining connections while on the move (i.e. in a train) and security and privacy has been improved in a few key areas.

    There’s a world of difference between an EDGE 120kbps connection and a 5G 120kbps connection.

        I get by just fine with 8-10GB per month of data+tethering. It’s no replacement for my fiber internet connection, but I don’t even know what I’d use 60GB for. Might be useful on holidays I guess?
