Broadband dongle with decent GB cap?

Atomic Pineapple

I'm currently using a Meteor payg broadband dongle for my Internet and its fine for general browsing, however I've signed up for Netflix and watching a movie uses up about a GB at a time.

The meteor dongle has a limit of 7.5GB a month for €20, which means a very limited use of Netflix over a month!

So I'm wondering if theres any better options out there when it comes to Broadband dongles that provide a higher cap on use?

Get a three phone chip (not mobile broadband)
top it up with €20
plug it on your dongle and you now have Unlimited Mobile Broadband because you topped up with €20.
Spend the €20 on calls and texts.

I do this and the speed is great. Although i thing fair usage is 15gb i got to 22gb last month and was still surfing

Short answer is no

60GB with three, downside is your probably unlikely to be able to watch any films between 18:00 and 23:00 given contention.

three has gone to an absolute standstill for me lately, it's getting unbearable.. was fine last few months but jesus last few weeks, impossibru!

60gb is the most, and that comes from three

i think meteor is 50gb, although its not updated on the site yet

Meteor's top cap is 30GB on an 18 month plan.

I inquired about the 50GB figure - I was told it was the old fair usage cap but that 30GB was a firm limit.

OP, you can choose the quality of you Netflix stream from your account settings - lowest quality (which is still very decent IMHO) uses about 0.3GB per hour.

Thanks for the info, I think I'll try turning the quality down first and see how usage goes with that first and then look to the Meteor bill pay option. Thanks!
