Mobile Broadband

Options
Thinking about getting mobile broadband for my daily journey from Lurgan to Belfast.

Does anyone have a mobile broadband connection that commutes this journey?

What provider do you use and how do you find it?

    Hey i don't do this journey but i do have mobile broadband, It's with 3 and i got a deal through quidco a while ago were it is £7.50 a month for 5GB, It never gives me much bother and is pretty fast, My brother has 02 mobile broadband and it is very slow,
  • I have been told that Vodafone have a payg mobile dongle which is pre-loaded with 1gb for £35.

    £15 to top up and the top up does not expire!!

    Is this true? Cant see it on the Vodafone web site??
  • Just got a Vodafone dongle in Belfast today and its the one that includes 1gb that does not expire.

    I confirmed that when I top up 1gb it will not expire and the sale person advise me yes it is and that they are not advertising them anymore as they are clearing their stock of these as the offer is now finished.

    Plus it was only £29 rather that £35 which was a plus!!!
  • abit off topic but does anyone know if the ulster hospital has a wireless network you can connect to? I will be in with my daughter next week and was hoping i could use my ipod touch to connect with the outside world as im staying in with her.........anyone know?
    it takes more energy

    The Vodafone 1gig are for sale on ebay, dont forget the 5gig expires after one month whether you have used it or not, but the 1gig can last for 270 days (if you dont use it) before the voucher expires
    so is Ideal for some one like me who only uses it when caravanning.......regards bri..:cool:

    I commute from Portadown to Belfast on the train and use a 3 modem. It doesn't work very well when you get near Lurgan and only starts working after you go under the motorway bridge after Lurgan and then it works the whole way to Belfast. The Vodafone modem works in Lurgan but cuts out to gprs after Lurgan and then goes back to 3g near Lisburn.
