O2 mobile broadband or our flexible broadband?
5 reasons we're better

O2 is another large mobile provider in the UK - but just like the other three network operators, supplying properties with broadband over 4G or 5G is a very small sideline. Its core business is all about offering an enormous range of phone handsets along with associated voice, text and data contracts. These days, it also offers other hardware such as tablets and smart watches.

At National Broadband, we focus exclusively on using the UK's 4G and 5G networks to provide a primary broadband connection to a fixed home or business location. We've got 20+ years of experience using alternative broadband delivery technologies to get the best broadband possible to those who need it most.

We don't have hundreds of products and services to worry about. That's how we've got so good at what we've chosen to do. And looking at Trustpilot, customers would seem to agree.

O2 itself actually doesn’t have a dedicated mobile broadband offering available, because it doesn’t supply the equipment required. This means that if you contact them looking for a mobile broadband solution, all you'll be sent is an O2 SIM card. You’d then have to choose suitable equipment elsewhere and buy it yourself – and of course, O2 won’t be able to offer any support or help with equipment separately purchased.

If you're lucky enough to live in an area with good 4G or 5G coverage, this might work for you. However, if you're one of the many more rurally located properties desperately in need of improved broadband that need a custom approach, it's pretty much guaranteed that going down this DIY route won't succeed in solving your connectivity problems.

This is another reason that dealing with a specialist internet service provider like us at National Broadband makes all the difference. We've got thousands of very happy customers scattered all across the UK to whom we're providing fast and reliable broadband over the mobile networks, even though signal levels may be weak to non-existent where they are.

And how come we can do that? Well, it's because after more than two decades of experience, we fully understand that properties in more rural locations that have weaker 4G signal each requires a unique and custom solution. First we carefully check to identify the best-performing network for each specific location, then we choose the equipment needed to deliver the best performance and finally wherever necessary, we arrange expert installation.

Unfortunately, the "one size fits all" attitude of the networks themselves just doesn't
cut it. The ability to provide that bespoke approach which every individual property needs is something you'll only find with a dedicated and specialist Internet Service Provider like us.

Anyhow the net result is hugely improved broadband - and that even includes at locations where smartphones may only show the very flakiest of coverage (or even no coverage at all).
