    Looking for a bit of help here lads. The son of a neighbour wants to connect his Ipad to the internet in West Cork. There is no phone line in the house. I have a house nearby and I get fairly a good connection to my laptop using a dongle and a pay as you go sim card. I put in 20 Euro a month and get 5 gb download.
    This is not an option with the Ipad and tethering I found to be horribly expensive. anybody know anything about mobile wi fi hotspots with sim card ?

    Has your neighbor considered one of these Huawei modems : http://www.three.ie/products_services/broadband/prepay-broadband.html

    It'll create a wifi hotspot that the ipad can connect to.
    It can be expensive enough to operate though depending on how much you use it.

    That seems to be the way to go. The house is rented so the local "Rapid Broadband" is out.

    Broadband Month 7.5GB 30 days of access 7.5GB €25

    This seems fairly reasonable, compares with my 5gb for E20 euro and the purchase price is not too bad.
    Will talk to them at the week-end,
    Thanks Dave
