Mines 3G and I use nowhere near that a month Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest jt750 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Get a modem/router (not JUST a router)and don't pay anymore for your connection .around £25 off ebay and connect as many wirelessly or wired as you need ..ethernet cables for hard wiring are cheap enough too if your PC isn't wireless ..they often come woith ethernet cable anyway. If your pc not from the fred flintstone era you're likely to have an ethernet port Quote Link to post Share on other sites

donk 12 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Ive got the 3G dongle. At first the signal was crap,but the last month or two its been great. I spend more than £15 a month sometimes,depends how much time i spend watchin or downloading videos Its simple though,you can put £10 on which gives you 1GB to use in a month or £15 gives you 3GB a month,you cant go over your limit cos when it runs out you cant log on,ideal for the young uns I always top mine up before it runs out,apparently you can still access the My3 site if you have no credit on your dongle,but i dont see how that would work? If you got no credit surely you cant log on? Anyway,when you get your top up voucher you log onto the My3 site and type in your 16 (?) digit number,then convert the top up to use with a dongle. Canny simple if i can do it anybody can, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
