‘The Dongle’ is a portable modem which accesses the internet via 3G and plugs into the USB port of your laptop or computer. This means you can get high speed internet access at home, and on the move, and that you could ditch your fixed line connection altogether.

BT currently charges £124.99 for re-connection or for home moves, money which would be saved by having mobile broadband instead. Mobile broadband prices in the UK can start from as little as £10.00 per month but, just as with aDSL broadband or a mobile telephone contract, it’s very important to be aware of exactly what your contract entails.

Nearly all mobile - broadband contracts include some type of data limitation (with a fine should you exceed) and avoiding a long contractual period at this stage could be a good idea - because dongle products are very new it’s likely that prices will fall as market competition increases… so don’t get tied down too soon!
