I had this when deadten did the dirty..I got the three pay as you go jobbie. Worked a treat with speed and had enough capacity 5 gb (i think) to last me till I got my new provider ( o2) up and running.

It's not quite real broadband though, and the providers mess with the traffic stream.

I don't think it's a real alternative...

i recently bought orange mobile broadband and am very impressed.
was previously with karoo as that is all you can get round here and the orange broadband is easily as fast, depends which network has best coverage near you, t-mobile seems to be the only provider to offer unlimited data usage though.

Thanks for the replies, Soul Kiss thats what I thought, but worth checking.

I have an add on to my mobile phone so I'm gonna use that as a modem. It cost £15/month with 3GB. Its a little slow, so no youtub ect but it will do until I can sort this mess out. I figure it can't take more than 2 months to fix the issue, which is the same as buying a wireless thing.
