I can't say that I'm particularly knowledgeable about the multitude of broadband options that are currently available to the average computer user. I don't know a great deal about download speeds, upload speeds or bandwidths. I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in this respect, and so I'm simply going to tell you about my own personal experience of Three's mobile broadband modem, without swamping you with all the mind-boggling technical jargon. When Three first brought out their mobile broadband modem just over a year ago, I was quick to snap one up on a 2 year contract. I'd been waiting for something like it to come on the market for at least a year ...  Read the complete review

I purchased my 3 prepay mobile broadband from Argos back in February. I decided to take the plunge after much thought and hesitation due to the many mixed reviews detailing people experiences with mobile broadband. My concerns were reliability and download speed. So far I've been more than satisfied with my all round mobile broadband experience. There are various 3 prepay mobile broadband packages currently available. Mine was for the 12 months package - not necessarily a package that lasts 12 months but based on the idea of 1GB of data download per month. So if you download a lot of Mp3s your package may only last 6 months or less. One thing to bear in mind ...  Read the complete review

I've had '3' mobile broadband for a little under a year now and have been pretty impressed with the service. I initially got this when moving house as i was going to be without a landline and therefore a fixed broadband connection. How can you get mobile broadband? You can pick up one of these modems from many places, including '3' Mobile stores. If you buy a pay as you go modem you literally just pay the money, register the SIM and away you go. If you're getting this modem on a contract it will typically be free upfront but you will need to sign up to a contract and monthly Direct Debit. How much does it cost? There are several different ...  Read the complete review

I first discovered three broadband a few years ago and was not really sure what it was all about and how it worked, as it was not advertised a lot then. Mobile broadband gives Internet access that can be used pretty much anywhere, where you can get a signal that is. Its ideal for using on your laptop when your out and about so you don't need to be connected to the internet via the telephone line. We have two machines one with Vista and the other with windows 7 it works fine on both of these and is easily connected to both so can be used with both machines, I also know that it works on Windows XP as well. It can be brought from most places that sell ...  Read the complete review

I think if I can remember correctly that I heard originally about this product from a 3 TV commercial, it said that internet was truly made free. I thought that looks like a great idea, and popped down to my local 3 store to pick one up, for a solid £29.99. I then topped up £20 on the modem, giving me for one month a total of 3GB worth of data to download. I found the speeds of the dongle in my experience to be pretty solid and it did not fail me. It certainly was not as fast as the broadband speeds that I experience at home, but at the same time this is not the point, the point is that internet can now be used on the move. So for something that did not need ...  Read the complete review
