mobile broadband
i'm not (in fact they're all way cooler than me) too cool for the techy nerd forum.
anyone know any providers currently offering unlimited download?
i'v just got a laptop and my dad won't get wireless internet because he has work things and what not on the computer so i'm thinking of hooking up my own. the problem is most providers are offering around 3gb of download a month. i have been told that some providers offer unlimited download offers at certains times and these offers are on and off at various stages.
any help appreciated, feel free to tell me i don't know what i'm on about. (as long as you're prepared to set me straight)
cheers.

Re: mobile broadband
I asked about the pro's and con's of mobile broadband on the Tech thread and those in the know advised it was arip off as you'd exceed your 'fair usage' quite easily and the excess charges are horrendous.

I think they're all unlimited access to wireless broadband, but it's the download that they offer, which seems to have a 'free' ceiling of 3Gb per month. After that, they charge you 10p per so many Mb. Apparently 3Gb isn't a huge amount if you use services like Google and such regularly.

Evict the occupant of one of the other rooms and you're in business!

Like one of these Homeplug devices? Just buy another one, plug it in and off you go.
