just bought a mobile internet card and i am shocked at the speed!  much faster on the laptop than the wifi network and the network is on a 20 meg line!

still another gadget fro camping and a bargain - £20 off ebay

i bought an internet dongle off ebay for £15 and a 3 broadband chip for a fiver.  the card gets you internet for a fiver a month with unlimited downloads.

you plug it in and it downloads the software and your away - mobile internet while tenting!

dead easy to set up, much easier than setting up a wireless network and its faster than i anticipated.  I reckon its faster than my wifi network at home!

I have got a 3 dongle and it works quite well. It definitely is not as fast as wi-fi. Are you sure you have disconnected your home wi-fi????????

By the way it is £10 a month not £5 to to top up for 1gb.

John, have you tried pinging your home wifi and your new dongle to find out exactly what speed you are getting. you might be paying for 'up to' 20 megs, but actually getting a lot less!
