Mobile Broadband

Hi

I need to get internet access for my laptop so I can connect at work for a short period with no contract or tie-ins, just pay as you go and cheap as possible.

I just want to connect so I can check emails etc, not heavy downloading needed.

Can anyone suggest a good idea?

Many thanks

Paul

    tmobile/3 payg data sim should do the job, you will need a dongle though.

  • With mobile broadband the main arbiter of choice is which networks have decent 3G signals and then, which ones aren't oversubscribed.

    Three probably has the strongest network - you can check coverage on their website. Best to start on a PAYG or with an agreement you can return it if it doesn't work where you plan on using it.
