Best 3G Mobile Broadband PAYG

LazyD

Hello,

Can people please advise on what they believe to be the best available deals at the moment. Are they all still limited to 3.6Mbps? I understand that in reality 1Mbps is more realistic but are there any capable of higher speeds yet?

The main thing is I want to keep the cost down and I don't want my usage to expire, ie, I don't want to have to use it all within a month, and I think deals like 1GB for £15 really aren't good!

Thanks.

Only Vodafone was offering non-expiring credit and they have stopped that now. I read that if you can get a dongle from before that change they will still honour the older terms and that Amazon are advertising non-expiring. No idea how it would work out though.

Vodafone offer 7.2Mbps too but not all of their cells support it (in fact I doubt that many at all do). I recall somebody saying they could get 5Mbps on their O2 dongle so maybe they do too unless it was on WiFi instead.

This is true, 3 have a dongle that has a 12gb data allowance, this expires after 12 months.

No other PAYG broadband has this feature.

Coverage and speed can be patchy with 3 though.

Which is currently being upgraded across the country, by the end of this year most if not all masts will be on the 7.2mb/s speed with a coverage of around 98% with only the most remote areas not receiving a signal.

Very light, very infrequent use - the old Vodafone 6 month expiry £15/GB is ideal.

If you can get a decent Three signal, then their 12GB valid for a year is great if you will use it all up. These can be had for £70-80 IIRC? Think mine cost about £95 when I got it 6 months ago.
