Virgin dongle

Is this any good, £28 for the dongle and £12.50 a month for 3gb with virgin. I guess 3gb does not go a long way. Cannot use internet as room mate does not want to share his virgin BB. Can I get any cheaper for more gb? Thanks

    Your roomate is being very shady. Three mobile broadband is the best you can get, voted no1 by yougov, you can get 15gb for £15 and the modem free, go for that.

    All terrible advice. :)

    Is you friend using Virgin broadband or mobile broadband?

    You need to ascertain which mobile broadband service has suitable coverage in your area of use.

    Once you ascertain this, you can then decide on the most appropriate action.
