Anyone have experience with cheap banggood.com 4g sim wifi hotspot hardware.

When abroad (india, china, malaysia) can pick up a local data sim very cheaply. Would be useful to have my own hotspot device sitting in my bag with everything connected.

Thinking of trying a £30 device from one of the cheap import websites... anyone got any advice??

Not tried the Bangood specials. Similar models are on Amazon with good reviews, but higher prices.

I have a 3G Huawei Mifi, been great for travelling, around 20Mb/s down on a good signal. Takes a full size SIM.

With the advent of 4G the 3G ones are now very cheap.

The Mifi's in general are v. useful: keep mine in the car, also good if I have to work in a remote office, or avoid public wifi in hotels.

I'm tempted to upgrade it to 4G but 15-20 Mb/s is fine for general stuff, including Netflix.

3G Huawei from Amazon UK:
