Customer Reviews

I have rigged up a homemade antenna on the roof to get the most signal - 4/5 bars - and this mobile internet is still SLOW. During the weekend and after 5ish on weekdays, it gets noticeably worse, which means pretty awful. It is certainly better than having no internet at all, but I don't see this as being an alternative to proper BB. The CS is fine, but they obviously can't do anything about this. They say that they are doing a signal upgrade sometime next year, but who knows?

Ed - Hackney

I have a deal with a speed of up to 3.6mbs, but through testing the speed from different speed test sites, I have an average of 0.5 mbs, with a low of 0.36mbs and a high (occasionally) of 0.8mbs. I am well aware that the speed will depend on how many subscribers are on line at one time, but would have thought that the ISP would have upgaded their service to cope with this, and fulfill their obligations of providing somewhere near the speeds promised.

Mike Mitchell - Northern Ireland

Absolutely unreliable service. Unable to Skype or video conferencing. Misleading information before signing contract. Costumer service advised me to monitor my internet speed and tried to convince me that there is no problem with traffic volume when all my tests shown that service is grossly oversubscribed. Summarized : one horror story in 10 years of using internet.

3 Mobile Broadband gives you broadband using the mobile phone network rather than a fixed landline.

While other mobile broadband providers quote the theoretical maximum download speed of their USB modems (in this case 3.2Mbps), 3 believes in quoting real world download speeds. This is why 3's deals are quoted as up to 2.8Mbps.

You get the flexibilty of fixed monthly pricing and broadband speeds with the bonus that you don’t need a landline and you can take your laptop wherever you want (but don’t forget you can use it with a desktop computer as well if you want).

Worried whether you will get enough signal or it will work with your equipment? Well you get 14 days to return the product no questions asked (so long as you don’t use it for more than 3 days during that period) for a full refund, nothing to lose!

3 Mobile Broadband are now also offering some amazing free laptop deals with up to 15GB data transfer per month and contracts as short as 18 months!
