Mobile Broadband

Mobile broadband is becoming increasingly popular and is starting to challenge the traditional fixed line broadband providers.
The current mobile broadband packages available are somewhat limited in terms of usage and generally have a relatively low limit in comparison to some of the traditional broadband packages, but this is likely to change in the future.

	The following information will help you decide whether mobile broadband is for you, whether you are new to the concept of mobile broadband or not. Mobile broadband is a new technology that uses the mobile 3G network, and the principles are generally in the same as standard broadband packages, although the amounts you pay and the method of access vary. The following terms should help guide you through the elements of a mobile broadband package: Download Speed This is the maximum speed you will get with the mobile broadband package. The lowest maximum speed is 1.8mbps and the highest is currently 7.2mbps, although this is likely to change as more investment is put into the mobile broadband network. Download Limit/Allowance This is the amount of downloads that you get included within the mobile broadband package, this can also be the amount of usage you are restricted too. For instance T-mobile operate a fair usage policy with their mobile broadband packages, where you get 'unlimited' usage but a fair usage cap of 3GB or 10GB depending on which package you take. Other providers such as Vodafone and 3 simply charge you for the amount that you use above you limit. Therefore you are best choosing a mobile broadband package that has a usage limit that you can remain within. One-off price This is the initial price that you need to pay in order to set up your mobile broadband account, this initial payment generally comes in the form of purchasing the dongle or USB modem that you need to connect to the internet. If you sign up to an 18 or 24 month contract then you often get this fee waived and hence get free connection. Whether this option is appropriate for you depends on whether you mind being tied into a long contract or not. Monthly price This is the price is the recurring amount you will each month in order to access the internet and use your download allowance. The current minimum monthly payment is £10. Price per MB The price per MB is the amount you will be charged for every megabyte of data you download after you exceed your download limit. 3 charge 10p per every megabyte you download above your limit and Vodafone charge £15 for every additional gigabyte. A typical song is around 4MB to download. whilst a movie can be around 800MB, whilst web browsing usage can be minimum.
