Mobile Internet - (Laptops)

[Gareth]

Guys,

Anyone got any experience of mobile internet providers for laptops? I've never needed the use for it, but both my Uncle & Brother have recently bought laptops and have the need for it.

Any experiences/recomendations?

Cheers

Vodafone's dongle and software is/was s**t

Coverage is pretty good though

T-Mobile software is much better than VF, coverage is alright, but gets a bit ropey in the middle of nowhere

We use a lot of them at work, T-Mobile generally seem the best, but it really depends on your area.

I use a mifi from 3, minimum 3mb wherever I use it, in a good area i've seen 5+mb. Handy little gizmo that creates it's own wifi network that will accept up to 5 devices at once.

I used to have orange mobile Internet on a netbook was really good! The laptop had a sim card in the back. I used to use it everywhere!

I'm on one right now, vodafone, software's not too bad now, and I find the signal pretty much bang on.

I use an Orange Dongle at work. There's sod all reception on any other network. It works fine, but the software update they did recently isn't very stable. I reverted and it's spot on again
