My advice for choosing SIM-based home internet in Georgia is to check the exact high-speed data terms, coverage where you will use it, and how delivery and activation work before buying. An unlimited label is not enough information to make that decision.

My Cellfie connection once dropped to about 2 Mbps. I bought another 50 GB of data, and it worked normally again. I later ordered a Silknet SIM hoping for better 5G coverage, but getting it delivered took my own follow-up with the delivery company. As of 7 November 2026, the SIM still did not work.

The part I found most frustrating was trying to get support to take responsibility for an unresolved problem.

Why I wanted 5G internet at home

I find home internet in Georgia unpredictable. I do not feel I can rely on it, so I wanted a stable, fast connection using 5G.

I own a GL.iNet GL-X3000, also called the Spitz AX, a travel router with cellular SIM support. That gives me an option for building a portable internet setup.

There are plenty of SIM kiosks at the airport. My advice is to resist the urge to buy the first one offered. Take a moment to work out what you need: a connection for getting around, or something you intend to rely on at home.

Cellfie: unlimited service, then about 2 Mbps

I bought Cellfie’s full unlimited package: internet, minutes and SMS. I do not know its exact tariff name.

When it was working normally, I was getting approximately 200 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload. At one point while using it for home internet, the download speed fell to about 2 Mbps. That was a very different connection from the one I had been using.

I contacted support, and the experience was awful. They could not identify the cause of the slowdown. They also tried to close the conversation before I considered the problem resolved. I was still looking for an answer, and the conversation was already being treated as finished.

So I researched it myself. What I found led me to suspect that I had used up a high-speed data allowance, despite the unlimited wording. I bought an additional 50 GB package, and the service worked normally again.

That sequence is why I suspected a data limit. The extra data got me back to normal, but the exact tariff rule behind the slowdown remains unconfirmed.

Terms checked on 7 November 2026: The Cellfie unlimited offer pages and unlimited internet terms checked do not specify a 50 GB high-speed threshold or a subsequent reduction to 2 Mbps. My exact tariff remains unidentified, so its applicable limit is still unconfirmed.

Why I decided to try Silknet

Cellfie’s 5G coverage was also inadequate for what I wanted. I decided to switch to Silknet, expecting better coverage from its Geocell mobile network. Its online ordering service looked promising too.

Silknet: the tariff-start SMS arrived before the SIM

I ordered the SIM online. Here is how the delivery unfolded:

  1. About a day after ordering, I received an SMS saying my tariff had started. The physical SIM had not arrived.
  2. I waited two more days, still without delivery, then contacted Silknet.
  3. Support blamed the delivery provider. According to the response I received, the delivery issue was not their problem. The conversation ended while I still had no SIM.
  4. I contacted the delivery company myself and got the SIM delivered.

I had ordered from Silknet. Having to chase its delivery provider myself was not the online service I had expected.

Getting the SIM was not the end of it. As of 7 November 2026, the delivered SIM did not work, and I had been trying to get a response from support for roughly 20 minutes.

I do not yet know why it does not work or what will resolve it. I cannot tell you that switching to Silknet solved my internet problem.

What I would check before buying a SIM for home internet

  • The exact package terms: How much data is available at full speed, whether a fair-use rule applies, and what happens afterward. Ask about the specific package you are buying.
  • Coverage where you will use it: I would check the connection where I actually intend to use it, rather than choose a provider only from its coverage claims.
  • The router connection: Check whether your setup will use the router’s own cellular connection, phone tethering or another method. The GL-X3000 manual lists these as distinct options.
  • Delivery and activation timing: Ask when the tariff starts and what happens if the physical SIM has not arrived or does not work.
  • A way to investigate a slowdown: Check the package balance, signal and local router connection before assuming every speed drop is a data cap.

Questions I would have wanted answered earlier

Does unlimited internet in Georgia always mean only 50 GB at full speed?

I cannot establish that. Buying another 50 GB was followed by normal service for me, but my exact tariff is unidentified and the official pages checked do not support a rule covering every operator or plan.

Did Silknet give me better home internet?

I cannot say yet. As of 7 November 2026, the delivered SIM did not work. The reason and final outcome remain unresolved.

Would I recommend their customer support?

Based on these experiences, no. With Cellfie, I was left to investigate the slowdown myself. With Silknet, I had to chase the delivery company and was still trying to get help with a SIM I could not use. I wanted someone to stay with the problem until there was an answer.
