    Mobile broadband for international use?

    Does anyone know of a mobile broadband provider that does reasonable rates for international usage?

    Hotel wifi is pretty carp and so I'm looking for some alternatives.

    TIA

        Why would you need it in Germany or Holland? I'm sure those countries show free porn on the TV anyway at midnight. Canal Plus?

            They show porn for breakfast in Germany but it tends to be very hairy.

              BT Openzone

              BT Openzone Wi-Fi has arrangements with providers in many countries. Full details of foreign arrangements are on the Openzone web site, as well as details of variations in log on procedures.

                T-mobile have a presence in all of those countries - do they offer a cross europe tariff?

                  You could also buy a local pay as you go SIM and top ip up and buy some internet pack - I tried that in quite a few EU countries. I have a separate bluetooth enabled phone for each of those countries - they're cheaper than dedicated modem and you can use them for well, calling
                  Downside is GPRS only, so slow, but good enough for me.
                  I am only worried about US when I go there - they seem to be getting less for more usually as far as mobile is concerned.

                    You could try the vodafone packages - they're £15 per month for 3 gigs in the UK, then £8.50 per 24 hours when your roaming.
