Mobile Broadband FAQ

Q: What is Mobile Broadband?

A: Mobile Broadband is a wireless broadband technology that allows you to connect to the Internet without a landline and while your on the move. It's ideal if you have a laptop, but it can still be used in a desktop computer, or a 3G router if you want to share the connection via wireless.

Q: Do I need a telephone line before I can get Mobile Broadband?

A: No - Mobile Broadband uses wireless technology to connect to the Internet, so no landline is required.

Q: How fast is Mobile Broadband compared to ADSL Broadband?

A: Mobile Broadband operates at various speeds depending on the provider and the technology being used. The fastest speed available is 7.2 Mbps using HSDPA (you don't want to know what that stands for!), although only in limited areas. 1.8 Mbps to 2.8 Mbps is a more common speed, which compares to ADSL broadband quite well.

Q: Can 3G be used with a router?
