Comment added by Phil from Basingstoke, Hampshire
I really rate the 3 Mobile Broadband service, its very reliable and the prices are amazing! I pay £15 a month for 15GB of data as I'm an existing customer, which is very competitive when you look at the other networks offers.

I generally get speeds of about 2 Mbps, which is quite reasonable, I have the stick modem. It was easy to install and i have no problems with it at all. Highly recommended!

Mobile Broadband FAQs

What is Mobile Broadband?

To put it simply Mobile Broadband is broadband on the move. The service doesn't require access to a landline or a WiFi Hotspot. It allows you access to the internet at Broadband speeds whilst on the move. Speeds are dependent on coverage and network capability, as the devices use mobile phone signal to connect to the internet. The technology behind this service is called HSDPA High-Speed Downlink Packet Access.
