I bought the PAYG package from 3mobile last october and have had nothing but problems ever since. I have direct line-of-sight from the dongle to the nearest mast (roughly 500 yards away) and live in a lightly populated area..however I have never been able to achieve speeds during the day (6.00am to 1.00am or, you know, waking hours) of more than 5Kbps Down and 2Kbps up!!!! It can take the Google homepage nearly 30 mins to load. Youtube is obviously out of the question. I also get frequent dropouts and even more frustratingly days on end when I cannot connect. But my problems will soon be over...my landline broadband goes live on 26/02. My 3mobile dongle will be crushed with a hammer and the pieces deposited on the counter of my local 3 Store. Only upside to my whole experience with this dire service is that I'm not tied to a contract.

GOODBYE 3 BROADBAND, HOPE YOU GO BUST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
