[backstage] OT - Mobile Broadband

2009-01-25 Thread zen16083
Totally OT and self indulgent (APOLOGIES), but wondered if anyone knows from
experience of a mobile broadband product (PAYG) that works in Falmouth,
Cornwall.  Needs to work on a Mac - MBP.

 

Thanks

My former housemate who lives in Cornwall (near Stithians) has an Orange
phone - only network he said he could get service with where he lived. Of
course YMMV - never been down as far as Cornwall myself :)

All of the USB dongles should work with a Mac, but you will probably  
need local knowledge to identify which networks have usable coverage  
down there. They should all have maps that show network availability.


The T-Mobile PAYG lasts 90 days now apparently and the Three one might  
do - but that may just be you have 90 days to use the voucher and it  
then lasts for 30 days, which was the scenario. Both of them should  
sell you a dongle for ~£40 if you shop around.
