3 Mobile Broadband.....

If you have a USB dongle, try getting hold of a USB extension cable and putting that between the dongle and the PC. Then get a piece of double sided tape and stick the dongle as high in the room as possible, preferably to a window. Experiment by moving it around a bit until you get the best signal.

Works for me anyway.

The USB dongle is old hat...... 3 can do you a wifi mobile hub. Not sure how recent these are but they are brill - you can piggyback up to 4 devices on it.

If your using a dongle, ring them up and ask to upgrade it - ive just gone from 3Gb at £15.66 per month to 15Gb with the new wifi thingy at £16.00 per month.

How does the speed compare - Hub vs Dongle?

When setting up a connection using the dongle without the app, where can I get the id and password from? How does the app know what id/pwd to use when it runs?

It doesn't seem to need it...

I just 'connect' to 1.3G Dial up connection within 'connect to network'

Just discovered there was already a connection set up. Guess that must have been the one used by the app. Running the connection without the app, it seems to be a lot quicker. Might be psychological. Will know for sure tomorrow, as I'll be WFH.

I cancelled last week after two long years . At that time they were not even giving free laptops which they are now with some contracts
