Broadband on the Move

Who do you want to surf with?

If you are in a remote part of the country, can't get broadband, fed up paying for a landline you never use, or need internet access on the move, then why not consider getting Mobile Broadband  for as little as £10 a month? Some Broadband ISP’s ( Internet Service Providers)  now offer access wirelessly to your computer or laptop via a dongle, which plugs into your computer's USB port and is easy to setup.

These services have been used by businesses for staff that use laptops to stay in touch with the office while they are on the move. People that live in areas in which conventional broadband is still unavailable, should consider signing up. With better technology, faster download speeds and lower prices means that anyone who is still restricted to an old-fashioned dial-up service may get a much better internet experience by switching to  mobile broadband.

Equally, if you only keep a landline so you can get broadband, or are a tenant who moves frequently, switching could make sense - and you won't be at BT's mercy every time you move. The speed of service you get depends on where you are geographically and whether you can receive at least a 3G phone signal. Currently, almost 90% of the population receives the basic 3G signal which is already significantly faster than using dial-up - and it is set to get quicker.

So which is best and what does it cost? The most basic mobile service is available from around £10 a month. Overall, 3 offer the cheapest service while Vodafone's is the most expensive with a starting price of £25 a month.
Each company offers a range of products depending on how much data you are going to download and whether you are prepared to sign a long-term contract.

If you want 3's most basic £10 a month, 1GB download limit (enough for about 200-300 songs or one feature film), you have to pay £100 for the modem up front. To get it for free, you have to sign an 18-month contract costing £15 a month for 3GB a month - more than enough for most casual internet browsers. T-Mobile offers a free dongle with two-year contract costing £20 a month for unlimited downloads

Both the T-Mobile and the Vodafone dongles offer the certainty of one payment per month - subject to a fair use policy. 3 charges if you go over your download limit. It also now offers a pay-as-you-go option.
Vodafone currently offers by far the quickest service - already up to 7.2Mb/s. It also offers use abroad at relatively reasonable rates.
