Had little luck connecting to bus WiFi over the past few months, but did manage it on a 21, heading towards Darlo, a few weeks ago, and found it painfully slow. Have given up trying on the Sapphire 22s.
You're right - a normal 3G or 4G SIM card is used and, like a mobile network, the bus operators pay for a tariff of x amount of data per vehicle on a one-month rolling basis. If they go over this amount of data, the operator will incur additional charges.
EE has better coverage than Three on the A19, so it at least allows me to connect to the Internet while I am using GNE's X9/X10 services!
