Mobile Broadband Pros and Cons

7 Nov

Some people consider wireless broadband to be better than mobile broadband whilst others disagree. The fact of the matter is that it depends on your needs. If you need flexibility and affordability then mobile broadband may be best for you. If however you need quick speeds and a reliable service then normal or wireless broadband may suit you better.

Whilst mobile broadband frees you up from needing to have a landline it can still require a lengthy contract. Whilst some providers allow you to pay and go (£15 for 3gb for example) others have 12 or 18 month contracts. The good news is that if you already have a computer you may be able to skip this as most of the longer contracts are for those receiving a free laptop.

A telephone line might mean more expense but it generally means faster speeds. Whilst we wait for fibre optic broadband using a standard copper phone line is as fast as you can get.

Mobile broadband tends to have lower usage limits such as 1, 3 or 7gb a month fixed line broadband is often unlimited. Where mobile broadband speeds tend to be around 1mbps normal broadband or wifi is often up to 8mbps.
