    Hi all

    Sorry if this has been asked before.

    I am wondering if there is a way to find out which mobile broadband would work best for the area i live. Is it a case of physically trying each one or would it be which ever mobile mast i am closest to would be the best.

    I live in the dublin mountains and cannot get fixed line BB and satilite is to expensive to set up.

    Thanks

    Try them all.

    It may be totally different 3months. 6month, 1 year later of course. The technology is meant for MOBILE use, on the go. It uses the Mobile Phone Network.

    If it is only for home you are far better trying to find real Broadband:
    Fixed Wireless, Metro, Cable, DSL maybe even Satellite if Kasat flies and you don't do gaming.

    Most if not all the major mobile companies have a grace period, you'll probably still need to setup a contract but if it fails to work with in a certain amount of time you can return it with out any penalties. Double check each company first as they might have different time frames and setups.

    If you buy online, you have a minimum of 7 days cooling off period, in which you can return the modem and cancel your contract, without penalty. You could use this to try them out. When you find one that works, keep it.
