I recently built a cheap PC for internet use only for my sister-in-law. She doesnt have a phoneline installed in her new house and instead of paying BT £170 to get reconnected (scamming bastards!) I told her to just get a Mobile broadband USB Dongle. So I picked her up one of the '3' models for a fiver (bargain as it was meant to be £29.99 but all I had to pay was the P+P)
Now heres the problem. I set it all up and the signal strength is terrible. The device 'claims' a speed of 7.2mb but its so bad pages refuse to load
Im going to sell this '3' dongle on as Ive concluded that the coverage in my area is crap. Can anyone recommend a good provider to go with? I was thinking maybe Vodafone?
