3 mobile broadband or 02?

Wolfe Tone · 2010-10-03 17:33:33

Guys am looking at either 3 or O2 for my mobile broadband for my laptop, both have 19.99 per month offers with a 15gig dl limit. I will mainly be using it in Dublin in the DCU area (I am a student there) what provider would you recommend? Cheers :)

Looking at the meteor it has a 12 month contract... what happens if I get it and it:

A: Doesnt work
B: Is really really sh!t?

Do I have like a month where I can use it and if I am not satisfied I can cancel it? Or am I stuck for a year?

you mean definitely not o2??
in the city o2 are going to be unusable at best because of their student offers and with the large volume of voice calls since nearly everyone is on their network which cant handle very much ti be honest..
OP meteor would be the best if its mainly for use in the city

Thanks for that, but on further investigation Meteor seem to be the best as O2 are apparently oversubscribed, and their service suffers and lags behind their competitors as a result.
