  • I have received confirmation of this saying I have been selected however there is not much info about the company and I wonder if they track what sites you use? I have to use firefox and download something then they will send me a dongle. Any thoughts? They have provided email, mobile as well as web address so I am going to email them as well.

    Found a brief bit of info here.

    http://www.siliconcaribe.com/2010/10/26/samba-mobile-startup-by-ex-digicel-employees/

    Also found them on FaceBook and Twitter - not that that means anything!

    Hope Im selected, Im up for giving it a go... I reckon they will track your usage only to try and target the advertising to you better...
    Stuck in a hole :(:(:( Just a step from getting out
  • I emailed them and had a response by the end of the day which I think is good. They say it's a free service because they make money from advertising- you have to watch ads to earn download credits! Service is over the 3 network. Trial is on firefox only when it goes commercial it will be available on other networks, I think I will try it based on that and I have read the t and c's thoroughly,

    Hi not sure if this has been posted before, but I just read about this in the paper the other day...

    A company called Samba are offering free broadband, all you have to do is watch a few adverts.

    It wont be good for me as I am such a heavy user, but I thought that I would post it, as it may be helpful for someone :j


    You have to pay £5 for a sim or £25 for a dongle and a SIM to get started

    Can't post links so google Samba Free Broadband to find link to thier site
