I don't know if any of the others had this clause, but it did say that it must not be used in place of a fixed broadband connection and that action would be taken if this was found to be the case.
It’s illegal for them to stipulate that. EU net neutrality laws which have been retained in UK law state that mobile providers are not allowed to tell you what you can and cannot put your SIM in once you have it. You can take out a phone contract and legally put it in a 4G modem. If Smarty does take ‘action’ then you have a valid compliant to put to Ofcom.
