Is there anything better than Mobile Broadband?
June 18th, 2010There is nothing better than mobile broadband for mobile internet use today. The only thing that comes close in speed for broadband users is fibre optics, but i’m not really sure how this works with mobile internet…
For the meantime it’s probably best to stick with broadband through the telephone wires, at least until fibre optics sort out their issues. These are mainly coverage issues, and they don’t look like they are going to get the entire UK covered very quickly at the moment; at least with broadband through the telephone cables you can get a reasonable service and get what you need, when you need it, and mostly where you need it.
When the sort of speeds that the fibre optic networks boast are actually readily available to all mobile broadband users, and providing they can afford the price of it, there very well may be little point in upgrading for what you need it for anyway. If you think about, yes highspeed broadband is good when you’re out and about, but how many of us actually need that sort of speed when we’re out at work and on the way here and there? Isn’t it better to have the faster service in the home if it’s going to be even marginally cheaper?
Remember to be sure to compare prices of your mobile internet provider when you decide which mobile broadband to go with; there’s a lot out there to choose from!
