3 Mobile Broadband
Mobile BB
Now there’s 2 ways to get
connected to the Net!
Yes, 3 have done it again.
They are the leading 3G network provider in
the UK, and have always been serious about
providing the best deals on mobile phones.
We have several of them. Unlike a lot of High
Street shops, they actually own the network
the phones are being used on, and they are
currently involved in a rapid expansion
program to keep it at the forefront. They
were the first to give us Skype on our
phones so we could contact people for free,
even if we are out of contract!
Now, they're increasingly doing their bit for
people with computers who want to stay in
touch with the world. If you're sitting at
home and have an internet connection, then
that's fine. But what if you are out and about
with your laptop? What do you do then?
Soon, the number of people buying laptops
will exceed the number buying desktop
computers. And they all need to connect to
the internet. In our not very humble opinion,
3 is the way to go.
We've used various broadband networks and
modems, and have had this one for a couple
of years now. We can confirm it's the best
we've used yet.
2 Ways to go!
Now, there’s two ways to connect,
depending on what you need. The way you
are already famliar with is using the
broadband modem.
THE MODEM
The ZTE MF112. Most older modems can only
work at a maximum speed of 3.6Mb/s, which
is fine for old and slow networks. But 3 have
recently doubled the speed of their 3G
network to 7.2Mb/s, and in order to
make full use of this speed upgrade this
is the modem you need.
It also has much newer technology than
the old ones, making it more sensitive.
And it has a built in slot to take a
microSD card of up to 8Gb in size, so
you can use it as an ordinary memory
stick as well. Since this modem would
normally cost around £100, that means
you've saved around £125 or so from the
word go. Can't be bad!
STOP PRESS!
Although the ZTE MF112 is still available
from 3, they are now selling alongside it a
new modem which is up to 40% faster, and
only costs a little more per month. We think
this is therefore the one to go for. For details
on pricing, etc, click on the Premium Dongle
button below.
Why would you want a broadband modem?
A question that always baffles us. To us it's a
question of why wouldn't you! If you have a
laptop, and you never leave home with it, and if
you have a home internet connection......then you
don't. But if you travel about with it, you need a
dongle. We would be completely stuffed without
our little dongles (no sniggering at the back!)
When we go to customers' houses we always
have our laptops with us so we can install
software or whatever we need to correct the fault
the customer has. Sometimes they don't have an
internet connection, or they have a broken one.
So we plug in our trusty little dongle and away
we go. We've used it on and in most forms of
transport to great effect. Wherever you can get a
phone signal, you can use this modem.
Not just for Laptops!
And there’s more. We think this is great, in fact,
essential for laptops. But, if your download needs
aren't especially great, say 1 to 5 Gb per month,
for example, then why not use this dongle for
your desktop machine, too? All you have to do is
plug it in and it installs just like on the laptop.
Think of the economies:- you're paying for this,
which you can use anywhere, on any machine,
and you're also paying for your home setup,
which you can only use there. For people who
don't have a heavy net usage we really think you
could use this for both - after all, you can't be in
two places at once, can you?!
You can also use it as a fallback: if your landline
connection goes down for any reason, just plug in
the dongle and you're away. In one case where
we supplied one recently, the download speed of
the dongle was actually 1Mb/s faster than the
customer was getting on his landline!
ENTER THE MIFI
But now there’s another way, that gives you the
ability to do something you couldn’t do before.
Now you can use a MiFi dongle. This dongle does
more than the normal broadband dongle. With
the MiFi dongle you can plug it in to your
computer and access the internet as before. But
the neat little trick it has up it’s sleeve is that it
can act as a WiFi hotspot - you know, like you get
in McD’s and various clubs and so on.
So if you need a WiFi hotspot, and
you’re in the middle of a field, no
problem, you’ve brought one with
you! You can connect your computer,
smartphone and anything else that
understands WiFi to the Net, all at the
same time. We like!
So here are the links to the best-value
deals. Whether you go for the normal
or the MiFi dongle, we think these are
great value, and the reason why 3 is still at the
forefront of innovation and value.
If you have a smartphone like the HTC Desire HD,
you can use that as a hotspot. Go here to see the
superb deals available for that and other phones.
