justapax, so sorry if I failed to make myself transparently clear but hey the point of my Marconi allusion was to emphasise that a USB dongle does
NOT need to be plugged into the box - as I said, it can be
“ linked to my PC or laptop via a longish USB cable”, with excellent results.
Since you ask, FYI I last paid just under £50 delivered for a 120GB preloaded SIM good for 12 months, which will cover my needs for a year with 30 -40 % data to spare ... if you know of any better deals, please do tell!
