3 Mobile Broadband - Consumer Reviews
Reviewed by Mario Burgess on 2009-02-18
When I started with 3 apart from the busy period 5-9pm I could get online without too much hassle. However since Christmas 08 the time I spend trying to get online is unreal. 3 had an aggressive marketing campaign around then doing a deal of £99 for the dongle with 12 months usage of 1 gig a month. This obviously made a brilliant present for the nomadic youth giving total freedom - however yesterday (feb 17 09) I could not get online at all at 6pm, 7pm, 8pm and gave up. I am now looking for a fixed line supplier. I am so stressed out with this diabolical situation. When I am online the system keeps crashing halfway through my surfing. Enough is enough. I live in a large town where they claim a high signal strength? I strongly suggest that whilst £15 a month for 5 gig sounds great value - what use is it if you cannot get online?

I am with 3 and got a very good connection , it is very reliable but I just like to warn people out there, that the security for mobile broadband is not as good as you think. I have been registering my debit card for three to avoid the hassle of buying top-ups from the shops (I am on pay as you go). but unfortunately, after so many trials i give up, the 3 website always have an error when you want to register your debit card. I have called their customer service about this problem and they said that i need to try it again, so to avoid the argumentation, I just decided that i will just have to buy top-ups from time to time. but I was shocked after a week, when i found out that there is an unathorised cash withdrawal from my bank account, my bank says the withdrawal was in Canada, and i say whoaaa! I have been hacked. the only thing i remember is that I tried to register my debit card for top-ups and i was using my mobile internet during that time, and that was it, as simple as that. so for me I think mobile broadband is not safe for bank transanctions.

I have both fixed line broadband connection and mobile broadband service. I was recommended to take 3 Mobile broadband service when I was looking for a suitable, cost-effective mobile broadband package for needs. Dongle works fine with my laptop and I get good coverage in my area.Three is one of the best mobile broadband suppliers in the UK.

3 boasts that it offers high speeds using its Turbo technology. However, I get less than 1Mbps on most occasions. But their dongle is indeed good, and easy to install and use. Check whether you get good coverage, before you buy 3 mobile broadband package. Their customer support is decent.
