mobile broadband for internet (and voip).


Isn't 3G (or any GSM-based data) going to be hugely expensive compared
to ADSL - even if you are not roaming?

The Vodafone offering is £15 for 3GB or £25 for 5GB per month.

T-mobile is £15 for 3GB with a more civilised approach than Vodafone to
over use, or £30 for 10GB.

I think I might get by on 3GB. I don't know what I use currently. BT say
they can't tell me which is strange as they contacted me last November to
say I was using too much and had to go up to their unlimited tarrif or be
penalised.

Even £30 pm would be less than I'm paying now if I include line rental.
