    What a rip off.

    Using an HSDPA (faster than 3G) enabled phone as a WiFi access point, 1 month contract, O2 "unlimited" web bolt-on - £5.00 a month.
    What a rip off.

    Agreed, I should have checked 3G reception first, I'm a bit north and in the "sticks" so thought it wouldn't be up to much.
    Good job I'm a contractor. Tomorrows trip to the bogs for a number 2 should cover that outlay
