More about 3 MiFi Mobile Broadband 1GB

3 has been heavily involved in bringing MiFi technology to the UK and if you are new to the mobile broadband market you may be wondering what this package can offer you that a standard mobile broadband service cannot. The main advantage of 3's MiFi router rather than a traditional mobile broadband modem is that you can get more than one person online at the same time. This is because the MiFi router does all of the work, accessing the internet and then creating its own Wi-Fi hotspot. If a couple of friends or an entire family want to get online at the same time, they can just search for the MiFi router, connect and then surf without any wiring whatsoever.

The MiFi router can be plugged into your computer using the included USB cable and this will let you alter its settings and also recharge its internal battery. Once charged, the battery will give you hours of online fun and as the modem will not be draining your laptop's battery you will get a longer period of freedom before you eventually have to find a mains socket or end up with a heavy laptop shaped paperweight.

3 provides people who sign up to this mobile broadband deal with a 1GB monthly download limit. This is enough for about 30 hours online each month, although how long you can string this out will depend on what you are actually doing. If you want to stream videos from YouTube or iPlayer you will find that the 1GB limit is reached pretty quickly. However, sending emails and browsing standard web pages and social networking sites like Facebook or Myspace should leave you with enough data to last you the month if you are a fairly light user.

3 includes several extras in the deal. Each month you will be able to send 20 text messages to friends using your mobile broadband connection. You will also receive a free pay as you go SIM card, which you can give to a friend or use yourself to access the benefits of 3's mobile phone plans. If you are a fan of social networking site Twitter, you will be interested to know that 3 currently lets its users send as many tweets as they like without charging them a penny. This offer may not last forever, but microblogging maniacs could really take advantage of this.

You will have to commit to this deal for 18 months and there is a one-off charge for the MiFi router, but once this is paid there is no line rental, just a fixed monthly fee.

This package is ideal for light users who may need to share a connection when out and about or even use it as their main internet connection at home, sharing it with the family if they are only occasional internet users.
