Which Mobile Broadband is best?

shizz

Im sure it differs for everyone but I know very little about all this and I think Ill need one for next year in college.

My main question is do you have to be with the mobile provider to use their broadband?
I would use the internet alot so Im not entirely sure what would suit me. I like the idea of a pay as you use internet but I have a feeling that would work out dearer than a montly thing.

Which would provide the best value? Im kinda confused about it all at the moment so any tips would be great?

Im with meteor btw.

you dont have to be with a certain mobile provider to get broadband from them..if you use up your monthly pass with meteor you cannot buy a new one from them until the 30days are up other networks you can..would you say you would go over 7.5GB usage a month online?

It's not actually Unlimited. It's "Unlimited*"


(* Terms and conditions, Fair usage Policy etc apply. There is a Cap but we won't tell you what it is till you break it. And if you do data not covered by the contract we can charge 100s of Euro per Gigabyte. Also if we don't like how much or where or what you transfer we can disconnect you or terminate the contract. Especially you can't Skype or use P2P even for legal stuff.)

Or some such small print somewhere.

FIXED Wireless and Fixed Broadband operators can't afford to give real unlimited. It clogs the network and costs too much. Mobile is much more costly and has 1/10th to 1/16th the capacity of Fixed wireless and possibly 1/100th or less capacity of some Limited Broadband systems. Only expensive fixed DSL, Fibre, Point to point links or Cable packages can approach unlimited. It's not even technically possible on Mobile.
