Vodaphone PAYG Broadband

Hello All,

I am coming to the end of my BT Broadband contract and, as I'm going to be 'on the move' a fair bit over the coming year, will probably get a dongle from Vodaphone as I use them for my mobile.

Just wondered if there were any overwhelming reasons NOT to go with them?

    They change the contracts to suit them and screw people over ? :D

    Vodafone PAYG broadband is good imo, I've got it myself and it's flexible.

    £15 topup gives you 1 GB usage limit, which lasts until it's used up. It runs out automatically after 6-9 months so it lasts quite a while too.

    YOu can't go to sites which Vodafone declares 18+, you have to unlock it with vodafone content manager.

    Guess what? The new contracts have changed and credit expires after a month.

    I use it for research mainly and emails. Dont do gaming or download videos, hopefully 1GB will be enough...

    More than enough, surfing web uses next to nothing in terms of usage. I'm a heavy user, I watch a lot of videos etc so I'd be using all my bandwidth quick on my residential broadband.

    Don't worry too much, the mobile broadband is basically a sim card. If you run out you just top it up again

  • hi , check the voda coverage maps for 3g i can't get it here but then again 2 streets away its fine also. If you use a smart phone with vodafone and it works on 3g then u r ok to go.
