    Personally I do not rate mobile broadband - with all the limits on usage etc.

    Widelats - you can look at the cable route - if you can get cable (virgin) in your area then you can get cheap broadband, without limits with a free wireless router (no BT line required)

    Can i then get virgin wireless on its own? I saw some adverts for their fibre optic they wanted to have the TV, phone and broad band in 1 package it was like £35 a month. If they will just do the broadband and free router i would go this way, do you have spome details on it?

    Thanks mate.

    Can i not get wireless with this then? If i would have to go for mobile broadband which would be a good offer?

    Mobile broadband is when you are on the move all the time and need a decent way to connect to the internet, its also useful for people who do not or cannot obtain a landline but still want broadband. Its limited however, and cant be used for heavy internet use or downloads.
