Half of the people in the trial will have their homes fitted with modified wireless routers, which will be able to pick up the area's 4G connection to give the household access to the internet.

The other half will be given 4G dongles with which to try out the connection on individual devices such as laptops.

Why not allow people to use both so that they can get comparison data? Seems logical.

maybe because if they did that they would find a large proportion would still only use one of the options and they want people to solely use the option they are given and get a better clearer understanding of what the individual does and behaves for each option before looking at dual usage.
