Instagram-> Keep getting blocked for violating terms soon as signed up??
 

Keep getting Insta account closed down for violating terms conditions instantly whenever I open an account, is it based on IP address or something else?

Why is this happening?

Same phone being used as well? Feels like IP would be one part of the automatic violation kicking in...

I was using insta from the laptop via 3G ee USB modem not from the phone.
Is there a good prepaid sim that I could use solely for insta that I wouldn’t have to use from the house WiFi that I can buy from the shops? This will solve the up issue and the instant automatic violation ban

They are definitely linking you. Clear cache , get new ip, device , make sure there is no cookie / data link and then use.

Do you recommend using a different phone or changing the ip on the laptop?

A few years ago IG closed my account, and I pinpointed it to me creating an account via computer, and not having a phone at the time. I haven't had any problems since, but I don't use it for business, as of now, just personal use. I'd say, but a cheap prepaid smart phone. There's plenty of them.

App companies will use a number of factors to identify user for certain;-
Phone Number
IMIE (Device serial number)
IP of the mobile network - this is tricky as the IP is never static and does change in a range between 1 to 10 IP that the network has designated.

I would try a new descent smart phone with new SIM card in it, so this way you have a new IMIE and a new number.
A new set up with e a descent phone and a SIM card should cost you around £80 to £120.

Never have your mobile phones wifi or location on.

Also dongles/mifi/wifi devices do not work so well and if you use them, then always switch you wifi, on your laptop or tablet off - if you can diable it then even better.

Cheap smartphone feels right to use - new one

Get a PAYG SIM from any phone store or newsagent.
Create a new user account on your laptop
use the browser in your new user account
That should do it.
