Impressed With Mobile Internet

After much hassle with getting proof of address and what not, I’ve finally managed to get a mobile broadband deal through 3 in the UK and I’m very impressed. It helps that my house is within a HSDPA area so we’re getting the fastest possible speeds but even when that drops out and we just get 3G connectivity it’s quite usable. At £15/month for 3Gb/month it’s actually quite affordable too. I can see it getting a lot of use on the train and places like that so I don’t wind up wasting huge amounts of time travelling.

It’s particularly nice to not have to head down to the local pub constantly just to get internet access – though it was one of the best excuses for going to the pub in work time I’ve ever found.
