I need a constant internet facility at my holiday flat in order to use
the Hive setup to remotely monitor the temperature and to turn the
heating on prior to each visit.

I'm currently paying for a landline plus ADSL broadband at a total cost
of about £250 p.a. (and the ADSL will go up in price when the current
contract ends).

and all this just(?) to turn the heating on before you arrive

I realise that it depends upon how well insulated the property is, but it
would cost me less in gas to keep my flat at a constant, say slightly
less than comfortable 16 degrees, than pay for this telecommunications
solution

No, it's not *just* to turn the heating on! We actually live in the flat
for about 25% of the time, and need a half-way decent internet service
while we're there.

well I suppose that depends upon how much data you use when you are there

my usage for 30 days has been 500 GB (far too much online TV)

so lets say you are more careful and need 100GB

O2 SIM Only £30 pm

I'm not an expert in getting mobile deals so I guess someone will be along
with something better
