3G USB Modem
Mobile Broadband has finally become
affordable with monthly tariffs starting from just £10 per month including
1GB download allowance. Not bad considering there are no telephone line
rental charges to add on top. For those who want more than 1GB, there are
plenty of options - 3GB, 5GB, 7GB, 10GB and a massive 15GB are now all
options.
There is just as much choice when it comes to choosing a 3G USB modem, as
many of the UK networks have different 3G modem options. We have dedicated
this page to showing you all the 3G USB modems currently available from the
UK networks, so you can compare the styles, features and supported speeds on
one page - without having to trawl the Internet.
3G USB Modem or 3G USB Stick?
What's the difference between a 3G USB modem and a 3G USB stick? From the outside, the biggest difference you will notice is size - the USB sticks are generally smaller than 3G USB modems. There are some differences on the inside too - 3G USB sticks often support newer technology with faster download and upload speeds, although your 3G network with normally be the restriction on download speed.

SIM Free 3G Modems
If you already own a 3G SIM and want to upgrade to the latest technology, we sell a range of SIM FREE 3G modems supplied without a contract. Many of them support HSUPA technology with download speeds of 7.2 Mbps possible and upload speeds of up to 2 Mbps (in some cases 5.76 Mbps with a future firmware upgrade). Other features include built-in MicroSD card slots, so the 3G modem can double up as a USB memory stick.
