I was looking at the Huawei E5786, but in honest the number convention makes little to no sense, out of left field the Zyxel WAH7706 gets good review

After many many years my Alcatel Y800 has died an honourable death, what is the best to replace with these days, or should I just get another of the same

EE and 3 were the ones I found doing proper PAYG rather than having to cancel a contract. A MiFi router will cost £50-70 but as mentioned, tethering via the phone might be the best option.
And as also mentioned - yes you can eat data remarkably fast these days. Make sure you turn Netflix, Amazon, etc, down to lower quality and you'll still easily surpass 1Gb/day with only a few hours use.

For the actual device, I have an unlocked Alcatel Y800, rock solid bit of kit.
Fir the provider it will have to be a PAYG, check to see which offers the best signal as that will be the key rather than cost I would imagine.

I got a 3 MiFi for when the summer road trip in Europe (free roaming). Dead handy and it's just been pressed into service for navigating around New York too. You can get them on a 30 day contract or just buy the device and load a 12gb topup for £30

If she can get a decent mobile signal from the house then adding an additional data bundle and then tethering may be an option. I have done it over 4G and it's decent for basic workloads.
