2Mbps is perfectly adequate for general web usage, even with multiple PCs. Millions are using much less

note to mods, might be worth scrubbing / stealthing siraz's telephone number if poss to save him from an avalanche of telemarketing scrotes.
Also thats ADSL standard, note the max profile of 5.5mbps+ (mine said circa 5 and I was running 6.9mbps on max before switching to ADSL2+ with sky)
New place checker says 5 on max but I get 13.x mbps with UKonline using ADSL2+
try sub 56K dialup....browsing the web is PAINFUL then, any site with photos usually times out due to lack of bandwidth.

i just had phone call from 3G and they are offering me 1G DONGLE for £7.50 a month for 18mth contract.
Do you think it is good deal and 1GB is this enough or will use it up very quickly, as i will be checking e-mails and dowloading pictures to see on the attachments, so i can confirm back.

Not an expert on this so wait for the others, but once you start talking pics, Igb will soon go.
I can use that and more in a night.

three used to be good, but now they are terrible, lie about what they sell, claim contract changes allowed (but then whack in ludicrous exceptions so guess who wont be with 3 again)
1GB is not that much, especially when viewing a page with a lot of images on it.
are you planning to share the net with someone or are you simply looking for 3G BB?
I'm asking as I am a bit confused as to what your looking for?

My son may download games or he can browse and i can download it from work.
Next door which is my parents house, they might be just browsing and e-mailing.

I WILL GO FOR THE 02 BROADBAND.
MOBILE BROADBAND IS NO GOOD TO ME, AS 1GB IS TOO SMALL.
I was not going to shre this, as it is too small to share.
