    You're not going to get any broadband service on a three month basis. It simply doesn't exist.

    Mobile midband is not broadband though, any product that depends on luck for a connection cannot be by any definition broadband

    A neighbour of my in laws in South West Kerry uses Vodafone mobile internet and normally is able to play xbox live, amazingly.
    Not experienced it myself, but he is on regularly without too many problems.

    Lucky them but as I said earlier a system that depends on luck isn't really a good thing. The normal ping time on mobile is about 100ms so not very good for interactive games but better than satellite
