It’s as good as wired-in broadband except
Over the summer, I tried out O2 and Virgin’s mobile broadband services. Both had severe reliability problems and were not particularly user friendly. Over September and October 2010, I’ve used virgin Mobile Broadband Coverage and it’s been excellent. Firstly, for those who care about these things, I’m using a fairly old laptop running Windows XP. I’ve used it in London and in Norwich. extremely reliable. No downtime over this almost two month period. it’s a lot better than dial-up! Most of the time, it’s as good as wired-in broadband except when it comes to using Skype. People often have trouble hearing me and I don’t even bother with video. So, it is a bit weak for decent Skype conversations.
