    Been using the Vodaphone £15 a month version for the past couple of weeks whilst I wait to get my broadband back, due to moving. It can be a bit tempremental and slow and isn’t really very satisfactory for home use.

    I can see it being a good asset when on the move however. For 15 quid a month you can’t really go wrong if you are in need of mobile broadband.

    Pluty was using the 3 one last year Geoff, for when he was out and about, was ok if you was in a 3G area, naff if you wasnt.

    Is there an affinity to McDonalds? Or does he like a Big Mac while hes surfing? :lol:

    You can do the same in Wheatherspoons too

    I mind us going into a Spoons last year, us and his mum, him and his mum took out their laptops and were tapping away like no tomorrow, so me and the ikkle un left the pair of addicts to it and went shopping!
    Well to be fair to Pluty, he was working, his mother was surfing the net and going on all her chat rooms :lol:

    Are there any security issues with this type of connection?

    I know that with a home ‘wireless’ connection you have to be pretty careful about secure encryption (of the wireless modem) to prevent unauthorised ‘piggybacking’ on your bandwidth. Do the same considerations apply to this ”dongle” type mobile connection?

    I have a 3g phone, and the internet on that is great.

    But having read PB’s post regards security, how secure is my phone?
