Something that intrigues me about mobile internet - we use it here as our primary connection as it's the only way we can get a broadband service. That's on 3 and it works very well.
I tried all the networks but none can match 3 for performance or price. Indeed most networks work out to be quite expensive when you attempt to use the connection for everything as your primary/only connection e.g. YouTube, movie downloads and so forth. Data is very expensive.
Yet, by comparison, 3 practically give it away. Which would then lead you to think that the performance on 3 would be dreadful as it fills to capacity. Yet, it seems to rate very well, if not top, among the operators.
I have a duplicitous vested interest given that we churn through between about 5GB and 10GB per month with it (more now it's a bit quicker than it used to be) and, actually, it isn't expensive per se. It's cheaper than ADSL (and much cheaper on a market 1 exchange) since you have to add line rental. I'd pay more than I do now, but many wouldn't. On the other hand, if it went to bits and became oversubscribed, I'd have to find an alternative and so would others.
What is 3's "secret" - they claim it's "built for mobile broadband". In what way does it differ to the others?
