mobile broadband

I've got an orange dongle.

It's time to renew so I need to haggle.

Where do I find the best deals for mobile broadband? I'm going to ask Orange to match the best deal. At the moment I'm not very happy with it because it is very slow. Have been in cont6ract for 18 months so I'm guessing mobile broadband has improved quite a lot since i took out the original contract.

  • Hi there

    The 3 network (www.three.co.uk) offer very good prices, but it's worth looking at some of the phone shops too. O2 are limiting their usage now, as are Vodafone, so probably best to avoid them.
    In the beginning, the universe was created. This made a lot of people very angry and was widely regarded as a bad move.

    Orange don't price match, so that approach won't get you anywhere, sorry...

    I'd say 3 aswell, or T-Mob

    Grab a free sim from each website & test, Orange are merging with T-Mob so your coverage may well bounce higher than ever as 3/T/O will have coverage in the same areas when the back haul of MBNL links with Orange.

    3 has the best deals, how much data a month are you looking for ?
    If I helped or saved you money - Thank me
    If I helped you spend some money - spank me
    If I done both - :lipsrseal me:eek:

    I bought a stick from PC World 9 months ago. £79 for 12 months, all in. No idea about what the usage limit is, but it's still going. I think I would do it again... except that 3 coverage isn't brilliant.
