Mobile broadband

[Quickthorn]

I'd be interested in the mobile broadband question - anyone using it? How good, and how much? I know its a bit slower than land line broadband, but BT are robbing me blind..if the mobile broadband worked and was cheap enough, I'd ditch the landline completely.

not so slow these days...i checked, some are offering up to 7mb

prices seem to start at about £15 which for me would be very cheap as its costing me considerably more than that each month on my cell phone bill.

I've got it on the 3 network. £15 a month with a free dongle. In some areas it can be really quick. Generally i find it a bit slower than broadband but alot quicker than dial up. OK for pictures but def not quick enough to download vids unless you are very paitient. Very east to run. Its just plug and go. No software req. To me its worth every penny. Doesn't matter where I am in the country emails etc can always be accessed.

just be careful to check the smallprint. i have heard of some providers charging for data thoughput after limits have been met.
