TBH Mate Dongle Internet is pretty piss poor unless its unlimited!

Sky do an unlimited package for about £10 - £15 with a wireless router which runs through your BT phoneline.

He can run His xbox, the pc and 2 laptops all at once!

I've got the Vodaphone one for £15 a month.

If you use www.quidco.com you can get £120 or £90 cashback atm too!

I've got a Vodafone dongle for work, and Sky 2Mb broadband at home. Speed's much the same!

I've got a 3 dongle, with a 3 router so I can run my xbox and my laptop without unplugging/plugging in every time. Pretty happy with it TBH. 3Gb a month for £15 which is fine for everything except constant downloads, which I've never bothered with anyway

^ Saw that the other day, they look pretty cool.

On mobile broadband, would probably go with the network that you get strongest signal on at home?

 

[Alastair.]

the vodafone one im looking at is 7.2mb speed all the other are 3.2mb, is 7.2mb good then??

 

[Initiale]

That's HSDPA speed, in theory all the networks should be capable of that, as long as the hardware supports it? Then you need to have HSDPA signal in your area.
