Im moving house soon and wondering about giving mobile broadband a try? (I mean one of those dongle things which you plug into a laptop or desktop pc)

I would be really grateful if anyone who has signed up for such a deal could give some recommendations. Are they shiit?

dont have one myself but they're pretty good as i have used and tested voda's

check the speeds and limitations more than the cost - a freelaptop normally means the deals shite

They are good for what they are but not as a replacement for cable or household broadband. Typical speeds are about half a meg which is ok but not great. They are also susceptible to signal strength, if your can only recieve 2g GPRS where you live then expect to go back to dial up speeds.

you're okay where you live for up to 3M - i got between 2.3 and 3.2 and we're fairly close

cable still pisses on it tho - adsl will be poor where you live now speedwise depends where you moving to

Cheers for the tips. I cant get cable in the new house so its either get a bt line and broadband or mobile broadband.

In which case get the mobile broadband if you can, BT is ridiculously priced. About £50 a month if you include the landline that you won't use.

As the BT exchange is in Whitby Street the further away you get the shittier your speed is going to be too.

seriously, watch for the payments tagged on if you go over your limit

I use 3 and had the £15 per month package and soon went over my monthly limit, although I only used it to listen to BBCi radio and ended up having to change to £30 per month package
