saint_bert Posted 25 August, 2009 Share Posted 25 August, 2009 I am in need of a new laptop. Now I have seen, that signing up for various mobile broadband companies, gives you a free laptop. Just wanted peoples opinions on mobile broadband? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVSaint Posted 25 August, 2009 Share Posted 25 August, 2009 Used '3' for a couple of weeks when I was back over. Cheap enough - 15 pounds for the month service and 10 quid for the dongle purchase. (It costs 40 pounds for the aircards out here per month but they are a lot more reliable) Coverage crapped out every 30 minutes and often had to reboot laptop for it to re-connect. But it did the job pretty well and better than I was expecting after reading all the negativity. Managed to do what was needed (although not tested in Soton) I wouldn't want to rely on it continuously though and for a permanent mainstay connection - no thanks! I'd look into the pricier Vodafone or Virgin options that I believe get better ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
