Mobile broadband uses the mobile phone network to connect you to the internet. This is made possible by a new technology called High Speed Downlink Packet Access, better known as Mobile Broadband.
Our customers are provided with a special USB Dongle or Stick which plugs into a computer allowing you to connect to the internet. You don't need to use your mobile phone. You pay not for how long you use the internet, but rather you pay for the amount of data you download. The great advantage is that you don't need a BT phone line, and you aren't tied to one location, wherever you go so can your mobile broadband connection.
Mobile broadband will work anywhere there is a phone signal, however if an area has a weak signal or the aerials have not been upgraded to the 3G or higher standard, then the speeds can suffer significantly. In urban areas you stand a very good chance of getting excellent download speeds, in other areas it's worth checking individual suppliers coverage maps. More and more areas are being upgraded to enable the fastest speeds so that your colleagues can access their email and the internet whilst on the move.
