Broadband (+Mobile)

A few weeks ago I went on holiday for a week with friends who are almost as addicted to the internet as I am.  Usually when we go away we rent a cottage that has broadband provided (yes, we really are that sad!)

This time we’d rented an idyllic, log cabin beside a lake.  Lots of sunshine, lots of birds, total peace – but no broadband.  I decided I’d try a mobile broadband dongle.  I did a little research and found that “3″ appeared to have the widest coverage in the UK – including our idyllic lake.  I purchased a pay as you go dongle – and like magic it worked.

My friend also has a dongle – but a different provider.  Hers didn’t work – mine did.  We kept exchanging the dongle so we could both do some work.  (Her business is mainly online too)

So – if you are travelling and need mobile broadband, consider a pay as you go dongle from 3.  No need to pay a monthly contract – unless you travel frequently, in which case that might be more cost effective.

My clients often ask me which landline broadband provider(s) I recommend.  Currently I recommend Plusnet in the UK. They are the company I use. They have UK call centres and I know from experience with my clients that they are friendly and helpful if you have questions or a problem.
