which mobile broadband usb/package???

[dave g]

i was thinking of getting a usb broadband dongle for the laptop for neo..but which one??

voda,orange,tmobile etc etc..

i want a pay as you go as its only for doing a bit of browsing/checking emails etc while im there..i think the vodaphone is looking good so far as i think theres no time limit on when you have to use your credit?

seems most of them are right on the edge of getting a signal...or not

I'd agree with avoiding 3 and T-mobile. I couldn't get the 3 to work on PAYG on my Mac, and my brother had no end of signal problems with his T-Mobile dongle (monthly sub, not PAYG) dropping signal - and that in a North London location!

I have nothing but praise for Vodafone. My mobile gets signal where others don't, and a work colleague has a Vodafone 3G card for his PC that works everywhere - including a very cold remote coastal factory in Finland! HTH

Now, if only you could get an iPhone on Vodafone network...
