While on a trip to Blackpool, gaming blogger Emo185 purchased a 3 Mobile Broadband adaptor and has posted the low-down on it. He bought it for £49.99 from Currys, topping it up with £15 for the 3GB usage which he thinks is “rather reasonable compared to what they used to be”.

Emo185 goes on to say that although the coverage isn’t so great in his hometown, “while on holiday in Blackpool I’ve had great 3G / HDSPA coverage - I could download files, chat on msn and even play Gears Of War online against other people with very little lag”. He recommends the dongle for those who are always traveling around the UK “as they are cheap and extremely easy to use”, which is surely the most important aspects for any mobile broadband user. Emo185 agrees with 3’s claim regarding great coverage in the UK as “I’ve been using the mobile broadband device on the motorway and I have not disconnected once.” As well as informing his readers what Pay As You Go top ups are available, Emo185 also mentions that “Monthly contract options are also available from 3”.
