Pros and cons

Pros

  • Rolling flexibility: No exit fees, cancel any month with 3 days notice, so the line can end at any month boundary rather than at the close of a long term.
  • The price rise rule commits to no annual increase, so the rate you start at keeps running instead of stepping up at renewal.
  • Router with power plug included for rental, must be returned, so there is no hardware purchase adding to the first bill.
  • Monthly Internet runs on fwa, which can reach homes a fibre only provider such as Abissnet on fttp has not passed.
  • Entry at £30 on the Portable Mobile broadband Dongle plan suits anyone who needs internet briefly rather than a home line.

Cons

  • Support runs on email and help centre only, so a fault has to be described in writing and wait for a reply.
  • A setup fee of £35 applies to the Monthly Broadband Internet plan before the monthly amount starts running.
  • Speeds top out at 60 Mbps with no quicker tier listed, so it cannot match a gigabit wired line.

Who it suits

  • Renters, students and anyone moving soon, who want a line they can end in any month: No exit fees, cancel any month with 3 days notice.
  • Households in places a wired network has not reached, since Monthly Internet runs on fwa rather than fttp.
  • Anyone whose use is everyday browsing and streaming at 60 Mbps rather than heavy multi device work.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Households after very fast speeds: Abissnet on fttp and Astound on cable and fttp serve wired lines of a different class to 60 Mbps arriving over the air.
  • People who want a mobile or satellite option from the same provider, since EarthLink lists fttp, 5G and satellite where Monthly Internet runs on fwa.

Where it sits among rivals

Monthly Internet sits well back on the measures readers scan first. On max download speed it ranks 112 in a field of 114 brands, the weakest of the measures compared here. On price from the position is 78 of 95, so the entry figure is not among the lowest on the table. Setup fee is the strongest showing, at 68 of 86, though that is still well short of the front. The pattern fits a provider built small rather than one chasing headline speeds. Ranking is blunt here too, because a single entry figure hides the detail: that headline price belongs to a portable dongle rather than the home broadband plan most households would order, so the two plans are not a like for like comparison. Setup fee is the number that matters most to someone planning to keep the line, since it lands once and never returns, and here it is the strongest of the placements rather than the weakest. For a household that already has a wired line, none of these placements is likely to be the deciding factor. Speed and setup fee are the figures worth reading closely, while the entry price tells you least about the plan you would actually install.

Pricing

Each plan runs on the same rolling monthly term, and entry sits at £30 on the Portable Mobile broadband Dongle. The Monthly Broadband Internet plan, the one most households would order as home internet, is priced above that entry figure and adds a setup fee of £35. The dongle is the cheaper way in, which matters when a headline price is set against providers quoting a home line. There is no separate renewal stage to budget for. The price rise rule commits to no annual increase and the plans are rolling, so the figure you start at is the figure that keeps running, not a rate that steps up later in the year. That keeps the monthly cost easy to plan around and leaves the setup fee as the only up front charge to weigh before ordering. Read both figures together. The setup fee of £35 is added once, while the monthly amount repeats, and the home plan costs more each month than the dongle. Someone settling in for a long stay pays that setup fee once in return for a home connection, while someone who needs internet briefly can take the cheaper entry price and leave it on a rolling term without a long commitment.

Who runs it

Monthly Internet is provided by Lime Enterprise Limited, which is registered in the United Kingdom, and the market it sells into is GB as well. It is a single market operation with the legal entity behind the agreement at home, which matters if something goes wrong and you want the counterparty to be easy to reach. Support is the part to read most carefully. Help runs on email and help centre: email and the help centre are the published routes, with no phone line and no live chat listed. For a connection delivered over the air, where a fault is often about signal rather than a broken cable, writing the problem down is workable, and a help centre leaves a record of the exchange. It is still a narrower route than the phone and chat desks large providers run, and someone who expects to pick up a handset after a dropout will notice the gap. The provider presents itself as a small operation rather than a national network, and the terms are short and plain: an agreement to read once, with the same flexibility at the end of each month as at the start.

Frequently asked questions

How much is Monthly Internet to start with?+

Entry sits at £30 on the Portable Mobile broadband Dongle, billed on a rolling monthly term. The Monthly Broadband Internet home plan costs more each month than that entry figure and adds a setup fee of £35. Both plans carry a contract term of 1 month and can be ended in any month, so the entry figure is also the renewal figure.

Can I leave without paying a penalty?+

You can walk away whenever you choose: No exit fees, cancel any month with 3 days notice. The price rise rule puts the same point another way, noting that a rolling monthly can be ended in any month. The router is rented rather than bought, so there is no hardware to sell on or write off when the line stops, which keeps the ending simple.

Will the monthly price go up during the year?+

The price rise rule commits to no annual increase, so the rate you start on is the rate you keep for as long as the line runs. On a fixed term deal the renewal figure is where costs often jump, and there is no such stage here: £30 on the Portable Mobile broadband Dongle plan is the figure that keeps coming out each month.

How fast is the connection?+

The top speed is 60 Mbps, delivered over fwa, and no quicker tier appears on the list, so the upper plan matches the standard one. That is a workable figure for browsing, streaming and video calls at home, though it sits well below the wired lines available in many towns.

Where can I get Monthly Internet?+

The market is listed as GB and the provider is registered in the United Kingdom, so this covers a single market. Because the connection arrives by fwa, reach depends on a mast in range rather than a cable run to the property, which makes it worth checking coverage for your address before ordering.

How do I contact support if something breaks?+

Help runs on email and help centre, so email and the help centre are the published routes in. There is no phone line and no live chat listed, which means a fault has to be described in writing and answered later. For a connection delivered over the air, noting the location and the time of the dropouts helps whoever replies.

What equipment do I need to buy?+

Router with power plug included for rental, must be returned, so nothing has to be bought and no hardware is added to the first bill. The arrangement suits a renter or a short stay, since there is no box to install and nothing tied up in equipment that has to be recovered when the service ends.

Is this a full fibre broadband service?+

It is not. Monthly Internet runs on fwa, so the signal reaches the home without a fibre cable being installed. For comparison, Abissnet lists fttp, Astound lists cable and fttp and EarthLink lists fttp, 5G and satellite, so anyone shopping by connection type rather than price has wired options worth reading first.
