O2 Mobile
O2 are one of the UK’s biggest and most well known mobile providers. They have a comprehensive range of mobile broadband deals to suit every requirement.
One of the biggest worries for most purchasers of mobile broadband is how good the quality of service will be for them (as the speed and reliability depends upon the quality of the mobile signal where you use it). So to combat this worry O2 have a 50 day Happiness Guarantee. This guarantee means that if you purchase directly from O2 (following the links from this site to O2 counts as a purchase direct from O2) you will have a 50 day period in which to try the service out, if for whatever reason you do not find it satisfactory you can return the modem and get a full refund of any purchase costs and have your contract terminated. This means you can try the service without being worried about getting locked into a long contract.
Special Offer: Existing O2 customers get £10 off the Pay & Go Mobile Broadband Starter Kit when ordering by phone on 0800 198 1354!

Customer Reviews
Speeds tested via broadband.co.uk in a number of urban situations where there is a strong 3G phone signal and I can actually see the mast from my office and my home. I have O2 pay monthly with a huawei E169 capable of 7.2 Megs and the O2 Connection Manager indicates this is available. I never get higher than 550 actually tonight for the first time in 6 months since start of contract a stunning 720 Kbps! I think this is damn poor and only fit for small emails or very slow browsing. I would love to know what others get. I have sent two emails seeking advice from the O2 support team, neither of which have been acknowledged.

o2 have some good deals avaliable, but their speed and reliability are ridiculous. the network "goes down" at least once a month where only edge (equiv to less 512kbs) can be accessed. i have made numorous complaints to o2, they once reduced my bill by £20. i would not recommend o2 mobile broadband to anyone.
