3 has been positioning its mobile broadband offerings as some of the best in the UK, based on the efforts that the network is going to in order to get availability rolled out to more obscure areas.
This Mobile Broadband Lite package is a good starter deal for anyone who's looking to kick start their mobile broadband lifestyle without having to commit to an expensive pay monthly contract. 3 gives you all the tools you need to get online when you're out and about.
Whether you're using mobile broadband to supplement your home broadband connection or taking as your main means of getting online, you should be right at home.
To get online with 3's mobile broadband you'll need a USB modem and thankfully this is included free of charge with this deal. It's produced by ZTE and has the latest technology built in so that you can get online at speeds of up to 7.2Mbps. Of course it's important to remember that real life speeds will depend on signal strength and other factors, but it's good to know that when you're in an area with good reception, you'll be able to surf at high speeds.
To install the USB model you'll just need to plug it into your PC and then follow the on-screen instructions and you'll be ready to go. It's compatible with PCs based on Windows XP, Vista and the latest Windows 7 software, as well as with Apple Macs based on versions 10.4 and 10.5 of OSX.
With a 1GB monthly download limit on the Mobile Broadband Lite package you'll have the freedom to browse your favourite sites and stay in touch via email. Although it's difficult to estimate exactly how much time online a download limit will allow, it's usually suggested that 1GB will let you spend around 30 hours on the internet, which can be spread out easily across the month.
To put it in a slightly different way, 1GB is roughly the equivalent of 650 emails, so you can judge for yourself how appropriate this is. Bear in mind that you'll find it hard to stick to your download allowance if you want to stream videos and download large files and you'll be charged for exceeding the limit.
3 will let you have this package on an 18 month minimum contract and in most cases you can get free delivery on the next working day. Overall, this package is suitable for light internet use, as the name suggests and in the right hands it will be a liberating experience that gives you decent wireless internet access.
