What Is Mobile Broadband?
Mobile broadband is broadband without phone lines, wires and wireless hotspots. It’s designed to enable you to access the internet from any location in the UK using your laptop and a broadband card or dongle that you simply plug into your laptop. It’s also possible to connect your mobile phone to your laptop and use that too.
You actually access the internet over the mobile phone networks and you should expect download speeds of about 3Mbps or more. You can choose between pay-as-you-go or pay monthly - your choice being dependent upon how much data you’ll transfer. Typical costs for a 3GB monthly allowance are currently around £15.
UK coverage is excellent and improving all the time. In areas of London for example, Vodafone can offer speeds of upto 7.2Mbps !
So Who’s It For?
Mobile broadband is ideal for students, the self-employed, call-out engineers, salesmen - in fact anyone who would like to access broadband on the move.
