In light of government investigation of both fair usage and download speeds advertised by United Kingdom broadband companies many customers are considering mobile broadband as replacement for their home internet connection.
Apparently many customers have used free broadband speed test tools. These tools calculate the speed of download you are actually receiving as opposed to the promised speeds the companies offer. In many cases internet without phone line connections are comparable to copper phone line connections.
The complete portability of mobile broadband has also seen its emergence as a buyer satisfaction consideration. With so many people in the UK opting for laptop computers it is no surprise that simple no contract required offers that include dongles for laptops have recently become a favoured internet connection option.
In this case the policy of fair usage is not a factor as customers pay for and purchase a set amount of download beforehand. Until recently the additional cost of the USB connection device made mobile broadband a tough decision for many.
Now, pay as you go dongles are as cheaply priced as 10 Pounds. One literally finds themselves in a position of paying 20 pounds for a dongle and a set amount of broadband download as opposed to signing a long term contract that commits them financially for hundreds of pounds per annum. Bear in mind that many broadband companies such as Virgin Media offer true unlimited broadband without a fair usage qualifier, so if you spend a massive amount of time downloading entertainment from the net your best option is still a long term contract.
