3G for Home

Using a 3G internet connection as a home broadband connection has, until recently been an unusual choice due to the coverage and cost of the service, compared to traditional home broadband orrderings.

Now, since late 2008 with more included data transfer, lower pricing and free hardware, 3G mobile broadband tariffs offer a viable alternative for many users, especially in the following situations:

 - No BT landline - or too great a cable distance to support a reliable broadband connection

 - Low to medium download usage

 - Laptop users spending a significant time working mobile or away within the UK

For these users, a single 3G mobile broadband connection can work as a home and mobile internet service, potentially saving on both a home telephone line and a home broadband connection.

Where partner or family needs dictate that a home broadband connection will always be required, there are many alternative suppliers apart from the "big guns" (BT, Virgin, Sky, Tiscali etc) that can provide a superior level of service and far superior technical support.
