Mobile Broadband - Get Online On The Move

Waiting for a dial- up service to connect to the internet is like watching paint dry. However, a landline is not a prerequisite for an online connection anymore. Welcome to the world of mobile broadband. Originally aimed at laptop-friendly business users who move around a lot, the latest communication service can be yours for only 10 a month and is designed to be fast, cheap and convenient. Wireless, portable and charged by the imaginatively named 'dongle', mobile broadband is yet another way to keep in touch, wherever you may be.

Sound too good to be true? Well, it all depends on where you live and how you use the internet. A 3G phone signal is essential for accessing mobile broadband however, despite the fact that this signal is available to 90% of the population, the more remote one's location, the more difficult it is to get a strong signal.

Other considerations include how often and how much you download from the internet. Those who like to download regularly may find landline broadband a cheaper option until mobile broadband downloading prices fall. As it is, most providers offer around 3GB a month for a one off payment, charging more if you exceed this limit. However, if you're not a heavy downloader, mobile broadband could definitely offer you more for less.

And this is only the beginning. Giant service providers such as 3 and T-Mobile hope to provide mobile broadband to 98% of the UK by 2010. In addition, their proposals to double speeds make for a very attractive package, leaving landline and dial-up connections in the shade.

One thing's for sure, if you can't live without the internet and you're always on the go, mobile broadband will revolutionise your working relations and you won't miss a breath.

Extremely Fast Broadband - Arriving In A Sewer Near You

Whenever new broadband technology arrives, it normally means months and months of roads being dug up thus causing inconvenience for everyone. However, this is all set to change with the new plans to plant the cables into Britain's sewers.

The new method of laying the cables saves time and money. The normal method of digging roads up usually takes around 12 months to wire a 2km run, however the new method allows the teams to cover the same distance in 4 hours. This is an amazing revelation and would save a considerable amount of taxpayer's money and with the staggering cost of traffic disturbance from digging up roads at 4.5bn and if a company can avoid adding to it then they must be commended.

For broadband users, there are many good points to come from this. As well as having a brand new, faster broadband available, they will not have the inconvenience of roads being blocked due to road works.
