I didn't say it is Broadband did I ? Captain sensible!
But this is the Broadband Speed Test Thread
All mobile internet is intermittent, good speeds one minute, bad another, they should never be compared to broadband. Its unfortunate that alot of peeps in this country have to depend on it.
BTW, the 3.6meg they advertise, is really up to 3.6meg contended (shared), not their fault you didn't read the small print0 -

Do me a favour next time you installing broadbamd at the next house TELL SOMEONE WHO CARES
you like the (mine is bigger thans yours) game i'd say
And I did read all the print, I knew what I was getting It's crap compared to fixed line etc but it does the job for me and when i'm on the move too0 -
The above nearly a year ago, no idea whats wrong today, but its a nice surprise.
BT 1Mb
While that seems poor, it sure beats the hell out of a dial-up connection and it means phone line is not engaged when connected and it is more than €10/mth less.
Until 3 months ago non satellite broadband was not available to me.
I'm happy, its all relative of course

Actually it is defined as broadband. Not saying it should be but it is considered broadband. Its only really called mobile internet by people to differentiate it from better solutions like dsl, but it is in fact broadband.0 -
