"The out of bundle rate for all 18 and 24 month tariffs is just 1.43p/MB"
Also 1Gb download allowance per month is pathetically small- a 1hour iplayer catchup is 600Mb!
Can anyone recommend the cheapest option for about 3gb?
PAYG or monthly...
A 3Gb deal would work out @ £9.12/mnth.
Also, any current orange users, how do you check what your using? And is there a facility to cut off when reached rather than going over without knowing??
Thanks in advance!
intersting use of the word 'just' there.
that would make you 2nd gb £14,30.
don't see what the deal is here, 3 are still offering 15gb for £15.
Having used both side by side for mobile phones (3-personal, orange-work) in a nationally mobile role, I can say quite catergorically that orange's coverage is vastly inferior to 3's. of course, I have no idea if this trancends to broadband aswell. Only locatiosn I had real problem with signal on 3 broadband was Ipswich & Edgware. (and my mum's house in leeds, but that seems to be down to the amount of metal int he house construction! - crackign signal sat at one end of the lounge, nothing at the other!))
LMAO :-D
Wouldnt it be 1.43p/MB * 1024 = £1430
lol
I think at least one of the providers doesn't.
nice maths there
Would this work on a netbook running Linux?
I think a 1gb allowance for this price is good, most people will want this for when they are out and about with their laptop, ie, airports, cafes, etc, so donwloading big files isn't a big deal. It works out to be approximately 4hrs surfing a day, i'm tempted
That is not how mobile broadband deals work.
Reception is key to wether a deal is hot or not. I live near the centre of a major UK city and I've had nothing but probllems from three.
I get random disconnections but worse still I cannot connect smoothly to HSDPA. The connection constantly jumps from HSDPA to UMTS (3G) and regularly goes at 0-5/k a second and just hangs all the time.
I solved the problem by ditching the two USB dongles and instead using a vanilla 3G connection through an old three mobile phone.
Result, an almost perfect 3G connection. Thus anyone else experiecing this problem may want to bypass HSDPA altogether.
The result also is a much slower broadband connection unfortunately but I guess that's the price you pay for three's incompetence.
Incidently I've tried complaining about this but I refuse to use their 0870 support line as the normal 333 customer services is not available for broadband problems.
The internal 3g on the dell mini 9 is pretty good though.
Yes it is £4.45 per month if you are using it every month for 18 months. Maybe some people will but if you only use it as a secondary internet source occasionally or if you might move/travel somewhere orange coverage is bad. I would think most people using it that consistently would need more than 1GB, and people using it less consistently might as well get PAYG, but YMMV, ATS.
Or to put it another way, £76.22 over 18 months and you can't cancel it.
"At the Orange online shop they have the latest mobile phones and a range of exclusive online pay monthly plans.
For genuine tracked transactions completed wholly online, you can earn:
£20 for Pay Monthly Contract SIM cards
£5 for Pay-As-You-Go phones
£50 for monthly contract (per transaction, not per phone basis) "
Where does the £100 come from?
Opps i thought u mean £1.43 per mb.
1.4p seems really cheap
It's important to try and get a good signal.
Coverage can vary so much between the providers and download speeds can vary so much even between streets a short distance apart.
I wouldn't sign up for anything other than monthly.
1 Gb is pitifully small.
On quidco you're looking at,

Exactly, for an 18 month contract, how is this a good deal?
Atleast the other networks offer you more allowance for the longer contracts!
500 is the broadband support line direct from a mobile.
as for coverage, as I said, I've had little problems in truth. yes, cut off has happned, signal has gone down momentarilly, and occasionaly it's unavailable (very occasionally) but these are all issues i've faced with landline broadband in the past.
i think it's a crap price, as for secondary, i booted my landline into touch altogether a year and a half back in favour of mobile phone i had anyway, and mobile broadband. so £15 for 15g £ £15 for mob phone package. (assumign you have suitable signal, same assumption as per this 'deal') versus £10 for 1g, plus £10 for landline rental, plus £?? for call package plus £?? for landline broadband service.....
I use mobile phone and mobile broadband.
Hmmmmm :w00t:
