Dongle help please ?

[jann]

 
Just wondered if anyone has any experience of using a dongle for broadband internet access to a laptop ? for someone without a land line , - and how to go about getting one ?

Thanks Jann

I have one by 3 and for the most part, its been really good. I have had the occasional connection problem in the early hours of the morning but it never lasts too long.  T-Mobile have brought one out which I think is the best deal out just now - £15 a month for unlimited use. Not sure how much they charge for the dongle though. You can purchase them through the providers website.

Have got a vodaphone one (from carphone warehouse), is £15 a month and the dongle was free as is an 18 month contract, the T mobile one looks good as it has unlimited downloads, mine has 3mb limit. It depends what you want it for, I hardly use mine so am happy with the one I've got. (was a nightmare with vista thou , glad OH is 'pooter man' for a living )

i have a tmobile one and wouldnt recommend it, their poo

i also have a 3 one for my daughter, since i have my fone with 3 i get the internet half price with them so hers costs me a fiver and the signal and image quality online is great, wish i could get out of the tmobile contract, it'd cost me £13 a month for both mine and my daughters then rather than 25 for both and me having crap coverage

I've not had coverage probs with my vodaphone one, but a friend in work has 3 for her phone and a dongle, she has coverage probs until in Cardiff, the valleys are known for poor coverage past Caerphilly.
