Blogging On The Move

Over the past week i have been on holiday in blackpool, in a caravan i might add, hence the reason why i havent posted anything on my blog in the past week.

This put aside i will be putting up some interesting pictures of blackpool (espically my arcade high-scores) and another n-gage video to put up on youtube.

The reason im posting now, is mainly to let people know where ive been - and that at this moment (when i first posted this message) im sat in a car, on a motorway on the M61 (Leeds) - yes i have bought a 3 Mobile Broadband adaptor.

I Bought my Pay As You Go 3 USB Mobile Broadband Adaptor from Currys for £49.99, then topped it up with 3GB Usage for £15, rather reasonable compared to what they used to be. I Get 3GB Usage allowance which lasts for 30 days from the date i activate the voucher, however if you go over you are charged for the extra usage (£1 per mb apparently).

The coverage in my local town is not that great, however while on holiday in blackpool ive had great 3G / HDSPA coverage - i could download files, chat on msn and even play Gears Of War online against other people with very little lag. Fair enough this is only one location, but according to the 3 Coverage website the mobile broadband is supposed to have some great coveration - this i can assure as ive been using the mobile broadband device on the motorway and i have not disconnected once.

so to sum up, if your always on the move - or always off on holiday (only in UK), and you want to take the internet with you, then grab one of these 3 Mobile Broadband Adaptors, as they are cheap and extremely easy to use. However if you are wanting to use these as your main internet then do not bother as it will not always work as strong as a normal internet connection.

The 3 USB Broadband Modems are currently £49.99 (on Pay As You Go) and top-ups are available from £10 (£10 = 1GB, £15 = 3GB, £25 = 7GB) - Monthly contract options are also available from 3.
