Broadband quality improves around the world despite economic downturn

What about 3G Mobile Broadband?

You have got to be crazy, I'm on-line for over 6 hours a day, so 3G in the UK that isn't even an option when mobile plans they charge like everyone is on footballers wages.

Not to mention 3G coverage isn't great, same sort of issue as the reason of being on dial-up

Yeah, there's a fair use policy, and download limit...usually hard to find out the actual values...

I think this is the most expensive over here 399Kr about 43GBP i think (montly) and then you have 10GB montly

They aren't so generous in the UK (rip-off is closer to the mark) with a 3GB cap and less in some tariffs and pay through the nose for going over. Some are reasonable in that they charge by the GB and some that charge by the MB if you go over your cap.

So for me this is another non-starter, I hate being ripped off and as I said 3G coverage isn't great.
