3 Mobile broadband dongle review
3 have recently upgraded the standard of their dongles to incorporate the latest HSPA+ technology (which means high-speed to you and I). They reckon it’s around 40% faster than their old dongles with a pretty healthy maximum theoretical download speed of 21.6Mbps. As ever, the real speed depends on coverage in your area so it may not always be as fast at peak times.
General customer feedback indicates 3 are a popular choice in terms of having the best/ most generous deals, and also good coverage, so the 15GB dongle offer looks like a good one to go for particularly if you are a frequent mobile internet user.
Included in the deal is a Huawei 353 USB dongle, which features a memory card slot capable of taking a microSD card of up to 32GB. That gives plenty of storage space and makes the dongle a genuinely dual-purpose device – carry your files around, and use it to access mobile internet on the move. For technophobes, it’s also ridiculously easy to set the 3 Mobile dongle up – simply plug it into the USB port on your machine and it auto-loads and installs its software for you. There’s a quick start guide should you get stuck though..
