Who's with 3 mobile in Brighton, Hove, Sussex?

[trueblue]

They're doing a good deal at the moment via Quidco for a £7.50 per month broadband dongle... need to sign up for 18 months though.

Has anybody here already got one? Any good? And, failing that, what are your experiences with 3 network 3G phones round this way?

Nobody at all with 3? Maybe that says it all....

no probs with my 3 mobile in worthing. 3 seem to be by far the cheapest mobile network around

You need to find out which of the big 4 provides 3's 3G network as I don't think they have their own. I know that Orange provide their 2G but not sure about their 3G.

Cheers. Have scouted around on the 'net, and the general consensus seems to be that the 3 dongle is about as reliable as George O' Callaghan, and as quick as Darren Currie.

Therefore I will not be investing.... but thanks anyway for the info.

Probably a wise choice.

Thank god for my home broadband connection

The dongles use the 3G data network of the mobile provider so bandwidth will depend on both 3G coverage and the number of other people using the local 3G network for data including mobile handsets. I think the theoretical bandwidth for 3G is 2MBps but in practice you will be lucky to get 500K.

I use a 3G data card and regularly get 360K which is much better than you are getting but still nowhere near home broadband. More than good enough for what I want it for but not really good enough for users who may be expecting to be able to do all the things that they can do on their home broadband using the dongle.

As far as 3 as a mobile provider goes they piggy back on other's 2G and 3G networks so the service you get will be as good as the provider they are using. As for customer service..... Well that's another matter
