hassle free way to verify the value that a dongle might give

yogiberr

hiya,

I want a simple way to get rid of my broadband and use the cheapest contract domgle..I'm happy to take a hit originally on a PAYG dongle then go contract if they actually supply a decent service.
I'm a moderate user.

Is there a website where I can rnter my postcode then get a list of the best providers?

Ta,

Do you have a mobile or access, do you get a good signal if so use that company . Word of caution while they are good for the connection here and there if you use iplayer or YouTube or gaming they will eat your data like anything .

hiya, I'm on tesco and signal is good, but surely there's a more scientific way to gauge the signal?I don't want to pay any more than i have to, just becuase i know that compnay i use for my mobile has a good signal.I'm near city centre anyway.

There was a site which enabled you to compare, but I never bookmarked it as when I tried it, it said there were no providers here, when there are in fact two.

Three is probably the best rated one with the widest coverage. There's a coverage map on their website you can have a look at. You want "indoor coverage" ideally. We get 3Mbps (from a 3.6Mbps cell) versus a possible 1.7Mbps over ADSL (1.5 miles from the exchange).

This will show you where the nearest cells are, albeit the interface is horrid:
