3 mobile broadband router

Options
In case it's of interest to anyone I was talking to a member of staff in a 3store the other day and he mentioned they will soon be selling a wireless router for use with a mobile broadband dongle. You'll be able to just plug the dongle into it to give shared internet access to computers at home. He reckoned it would be £69.99 and available towards the end of the month. A bit pricey perhaps but I suppose they might become cheaper over time.

I took out a 3 mobile contract at half price a short while ago and where I am, it works well so I have been wondering if I could do without my home broadband now and just use the 3 mobile broadband. My exchange is not LLU so I still pay a fair bit for home broadband but don't really use the download allowance.

For anyone having similar thoughts about cancelling there landline based home broadband but requiring shared access I thought it might be useful info.

    Yes I saw this a couple of weeks ago in-store but just "on display" in a glass cabinet - not available "for about 3 weeks"

    I thought that it looked good, but it was only officially launched on 15th October, and may be of interest, especially to anyone that has already signed up and got the 3 dongle.

    A WIRELESS ROUTER that you just plug your 3 Mobile USB Modem Dongle into and you can share your "broadband" all around your house on several PCs and laptops. (Up to 32 devices)

    The D100 >>> http://www.three.co.uk/personal/mobiles_/discover.omp?CID=1219998539390&PAYG=true

    Site says £69.99 but my local 3Store (that said they would have them in next week) assured me that existing customers would be able to get then at HALF-PRICE - Just £34.99

    If they are - I'm getting one !


    ALSO, if anyone still wants this, Quidco still has "cashback" links to 3Mobile but the offers no longer seem to be half price and the contact has increased to 24 months (from 18)

    BUT using the links below ALL the half price deals are still on offer and will be until 31st October (see bottom of each page)

  • Does anyone have any specs on this router? I'd be interested to know if any USB devices could be plugged in and shared across network, specifically a USB HD
