No this thread is not about what you want it to be about 🙂
I'm buying my mum a mobile PAYG t'internet dongle and trying to find out best one for her:
1. Relatively light user - maybe once a day general surfing and email
2. Won't actually be leaving the house with it, it's just a hassle-free way of getting t'internet without having to set up a router
3. Cheap monthly cost (under £10 would be good)
4. Easy to add on more credit, without having to pay online (phone?)
5. Good customer service. My mum's pretty tech savvy but don't want a co with bad customer service.
02 don't cover my parents' home address. Who's the best of the rest?
Three mifi ftw
What Geoff said I love mine 😀
3. Works great, use mine at our caravan.
Edit: £20 gets you the dongle and a month/1Gb of usage
I'm paying £15pcm and get 5GB (had to pay £40 for the dongle though)

No arguments here, with the caveat that when my OH rang to cancel hers recently the guy at 3 was a class one prick about it, outrageously aggressive and rude. Dunno how representative he is of the rest of his department / company, but it was a shocking way to deal with a customer.

Routers are pretty easy to set up these days, y'know.
Another big vote for the MiFi. So simple to use, fast as well.
Great to have around.
If your near Chester pop into the Apple Reseller (MCC) as they're half price, otherwise you can buy them [url= http://www.mccdigital.com/products/threemobilebroadband.html ]online currently haf price[/url]
3 mifi here too....it's been great.
+1 for the Mifi.
If you phone 3 and threaten to cancel you contract, they knock the service down to half price 😉

... or just go PAYGO. You can get 3 gig sim for £10 now and it will last 3 months (unless you use all the data). It's actually cheaper to just chuck a new sim in rather than add more to the original sim.
Either way the defo seems to be a consensus that the MiFi is the mutts.
edit: just checked and a new 3 gig card is £14.00 so probably easier to just add more data to the existing card. All done online and only takes a couple of mins
I've got an Orange 1Gb dongle to tide me over until my land line is set up and I get the full home broadband. It's a bit rubbish really. I'm frequently watching my bandwidth allowance being eaten while I wait for pages to load. Sometimes even Gmail won't load.
It's fast enough to connect so I've taken to loading a page and disconnecting while I read.
I'm in the centre of Edinburgh so I wouldn't expect coverage to be poor.
It is handy that when I cancel the rolling pay monthly it will be usable as pay-as-you-go. Well,I say usable...
