3 mobile broadband

I think we need a few more players in the game.
Competition should improve service and keep prices reasonable.
Mobile broadband is a good idea once they get it right.
One thing I like about regular broadband is that you can get monthly contracts so you're not tied in for two years.0 -

Does any body think they`ll be any decent cashback deals on this?
Thanks

There is no cashback deals where you have to send your bills in for redemption but what I did; when I ordered my 3 mobile broadband was to go through Quidco and purchase from the 3 website and they give you £55 cashback.0 -
Even though I connect at full HSDPA strength I never hit the connection speed of 3.6MB; the highest I have achieved is just over 1MB, which is fine for web browsing and emails.
There was a discussion on the What Mobile forum recently where a 3 staff member had said 3.6meg has not actually been rolled out yet and was only in Central London, as I recall. Most Turbo areas still have a max speed of 1.8meg.
As an aside, I frequently use my n95 on T-Mobile web and walk for connection to my laptop, some days I leave it connected all day and it works very well at HSDPA speeds.====0 -

went into 3 shop today,the salesman said that 14 day peice of mind has now gone down to 3 days,i said whys that,are you getting a lot of returns,he rekoned they only had 2 returned out of 20!so i said if its not doing what its ment to do i cant bring it back a week later,he said no youve got 28 days if your not satisfied,so kinda contridicts itself!also he rekons there bringing it out tomorow as a payg version,no contract,but have to pay £100 for the modem.
when he showed me it in the shop on a laptop it seemed to be fairly quick finding the page,but when he was on u tube playing a video it kept stopping every now & then whilst it was buffing,but mine does that sometimes with my wireless at home..still not 100%convinced,but spose if ur not happy with it i think due to your consumer rites you can take it back with in 28 days......0 -
I don't understand the return policy but you are better off getting it on a contract because they charge you £1/MB and you pay £69.99 for the modem on a 12 month contract and don't forget to go through Quidco to get £55 cashback.0

Sign upto Quidco and log into your account and click on the link, which will take you to the 3 website and purchase your product. If your purchase is tracked succesfully you will receive the cashback to your registered bank account via BACS, which there is a charge of 5p per transaction, the only thing Quidco is charge is £5 per year from your earnings.
Have a look at the links below for more information;
