Mobile Broadband
A Quick Guide:
- Mobile broadband is a service that allows users to browse the web at super fast speeds on the move.
- The technology that empowers mobile broadband is HSPDA (high speed downlink packet access). It is often referred to as 3.5G.
- It is available in two formats: on a suitably equipped mobile or on a laptop linked to a USB dongle containing a high-speed SIM card.
- Data speeds on offer now range from 1.8Mbps to 7.2Mbps; fast enough to rival fixed-line services in your home. This will rise to 14.4Mbps soon.
- All five major UK networks currently provide USB solutions for laptop users and a range of mobile broadband handsets, with specific tariffs geared towards both heavy and casual users.

Travel Warning!!
If you use your laptop to access the Internet abroad you could face some hefty data charges on your next bill, because most of the UK price plans do not include international roaming as part of the data allowance.
Contact Us prior to travelling to find out which foreign service providers your network has agreements with, to enable the cheapest possible data rates.
