Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket? -
TMobile works fine for me in London. Usually it connects me with a fast HSDPA connection.'Orwell's 1984 was supposed to be a warning, not an instruction manual'. -

Do any allow pay as you go, or something equally non-commital?
Was tempted with this when I was staying in a b&b bored silly. Coverage was crap, according to the maps on the various provider websites. Just because you can get a mobile signal doesn't mean you'll get a good (or any) mobile broadband connection.
Decided to leave it till the coverage improves, which may be a few years away yet, depending on location and locations you think you may be wanting to use it.Feist - 1234. One camera, one take, no editing. Superb. How they did it

I usually find disconnecting, then use a USB cable to allow me to position the dongle better and reconnecting will get a 3G connection.
I've also noticed some possible interferance with my wireless mouse
I get, some websites just don't loadComment

Check coverage with all the operators. In 'Nam we only have Vodafone & Orange. I'm with Vodafone which has been ok until this last week when emails that I'm sending to my client have been going astray and turning up days later.Comment

T-Mobile do an occasional use PAYG scheme for £2 per day, plus £50 for the dongle.
I get a pretty solid T-Mobile 3G connection at home on my phone, so I've been tempted to get one just as a back up.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

My new phone contract is on T-mobile, and I just took the company cheque book and a copy of the certificate of incorporation in. That was overkill, really, they said that the cheque book or a company debit card would have been fine.Comment

O2 do a deal - £20/month for mobile broadband with free home broadband.
I use a constat ping in the background to keep the connection open - works a treat.
