    I have been looking into getting mobile broadband. the main reason is so i can work from parents home at christmas. i really only need it for christmas as i have broadband where i live.
    Would anyone have any recommendations on the best (i.e. cheapest option)
    3 seems expensive, you have to pay for modem for the pay as you go option.
    not sure do any of the other companies have pay as you go options?
    do you have to pay for modem with them all?

    Cheers for any help.

    Do you have any friends that have it?
    Or do any of them have Irish Broadband, That just plugs in anywhere as long as you have signal... if someones going away for christmas im sure they would let you borrow it

    You have to buy the modem with all of them. Three are the only ones doing PAYG. O2 offer Clear on broadband now, which is a 30 day rolling contract I think.

    Just because you can buy it, doesn't mean it will work though.

    Trial periods seems your best bet, sign up to O2's pay monthly option "trail it" for whatever amount of days they allow and then return it cfor a refund on the modem.

    Maybe its not what O2 want customers to do but it might suit you the best :)
