Has anyone used "The Cloud" for home internet?

Galileo_Figaro

I just moved into a new place and searching for available wireless networks, I can connect to a local Pret's Wi-fi through "the Cloud".

It appears that this gives me internet access for £6.99 a month (unlimited downloads, no need for a phone line).

Has anyone tried this, or can see any potnetial issues?

Thanks

Try it for a month and see what it's like, don't they switch it off though when the shop closes?

Used to use a few The Cloud connections around the country before I got a 3 dongle.

There were two things I didn't like about them. The speed was poor, the equivalent of a half meg broadband line. And, if you left it idle for more than a couple of minutes, you had to log in and if the login failed due to a low signal it would refuse to log you in as it thought you already were. Could spend 15 minutes getting back online.

As said, try it for a month. If it works for you, it's a very cheap option with no contract.
