Three mobile have now launched mobile broadband service so you can use the internet wherever you go. It does not have a fixed line or wires like home broadband, it uses a USB modem that simply plugs into your laptop. It can cover 85% of the UK so you can use it wherever you go and it can even be swapped around computers. Speeds can be up to 2.8MBps and it is very easy to set up. There are three USB modems to choose from including the normal white, limited edition pink and the new sleek black one. There are payment choices of pay monthly or pay as you go. There are three pay monthly options including Lite which is 1GB for £10 a month, Plus which is 3GB for £15 and Max which is 7GB for £25 a month. If you go you're your allowance it costs 10p per extra MB. Pay as you go options are similar with Lite 1GB for £10 a month, Plus 3GB for £15 and Max 7GB for £25 a month. If you go over you allowance it costs £1 per extra MB. Three mobile broadband is a good option for those who are on the move all the time and cannot live without their internet. A pay monthly option will be better for these people as the amount you use is more flexible and if you go over your allowance it is only 10p extra per MB rather than £1 for pay as go customers. If you do not use the internet much but like to have it available for you to use whenever you want and wherever you want, then pay as you go mobile broadband will be a good option.
