Broadband - are you mobile or fixed? 10:00am on 16 Aug 2008 I'm no power downloader with the web, never have been, but Virgin's DSL service was in my view expensive for what was on offer.

I checked into mobile broadband and bought into 3's service for a flat tenner a month (lite) - works great in the Midlands, rural Wales and North Devon Coast for examples of locations.

I'd heard Vodafones service was four times faster, it is before 9.00am (3g+ they call it) but then it's fairly standard throughout the day, one thing - the line doesn't drop as 3's does.

Other notable points re: mobile broadband are:
(1) Vodafone compresses their data, images look appalling, Bytemobile software needed to control this. 3 just sends what is uncompressed.
(2) No fixed IP address on Voda, try using MSN messenger, no good.
(3) both systems provide no online data usage services so it is easy to run over limits, 3 at least send your dongle a text advising to top-up.
(4) I do circuit riding helping people wirth pc hassles, it is great to take your broadband with you - I've got rid of the landline and Virgin now.
(5) mobile broadband is active in minutes, try configuring a router and all machines in that time!
(6) you can now but mobile broadband routers - share your dongle!
Facebook over? Only in Islington 3:31pm on 16 Jun 2008 Facebook is a clique; you join and 'friends' you don't even know want to list you but then fail to communicate with you, why? 'cos they're busy networking and other contemporary busy lifestyle stress related stuff.

Really sad to find that some that do message say they're too busy to message people, a thinly veiled sense of busy here meaning too self important. These networks feed this sense of a lack of consideration of others.
