Best mobile broadband for money

    Hello

    I have a bit of a dilemma. I've currently moved into a flat (not far from Dublin City) and my only option for internet is mobile broadband it would seem.

    I am fairly heavy user with a laptop, phone and iPad so I would need at least 15gigs a month.

    who gives the best value for money out there? I would need to connect 3 devices (laptop,phone and iPad) to the device/router.

    I've heard mixed reports about all providers and I'm a little unsure who to give my business too. I would be probably go for a bill pay contract as well to get the best value

    so anyone recommend a provider? three? O2? Meteor?

    thanks

    3 do 60GB download on billpay for €30 a month, the cube they offer can connect 5 devices..

    Think 3 is the biggest cap...

    Most of the services are priced from about 20-30 quid for a reasonable mobile cap but depends what service is best in your area.. if it's city centre chances are they will all be ok... just depends what service option you opt for

    If you able to borrow a modem and sim from a friend for a few days then you should try that before going in to contract.

    Three have 60GB a month but they also consider 0.40Mbps an acceptable service and their 14 day return is not open, it's subject to approval by Three.

    drumcondra/dorset street area. Surely it would be fine? don't fancy taking a chance as I've heard some dodgy reports about Three's customer service

    Careful. That package sounds great but the experience in reality may not be up to your expectations. Depends on location but speeds are generally good in the day but can be poor in the evening (like 0.5mbps) so grand for browsing but sharing at the same time or video will be impossible. I have the Pro 60 pac but only ever got to use about 25% due to poor speed at night when you are most likely to want to stream.

    You can try to get a PM guarantee from the Three Reps in their forum on Boards about the service you can expect at you site.
    Try before you buy.
