    From my own experience....3 broadband is terrible (Don't get me started on The Carphone Warehouse). I had nothing but trouble with it, no signal, modem/dongle thingy "not found". Phone 3's "support" number in Outer-Mongolia (or wherever it is) and you will get the standard reply of.....

    1) Restart your laptop
    2) Un-install then re-install the 3 software


    It was just a nightmare so I switched to O2 and it's been fine since. My niece bought a 3 dongle for her laptop (despite my advice not to) because it was the cheapest and now it gathers dust on a shelf because it never works for her (no signal).

    I think there is a huge thread on here about the 3 network and all the woes they have caused. If I find it I will post the link.
