| It's no wonder O2 mobile broadband looks set to be a huge seller in the fast growing mobile broadband for laptops market. Priced competitively at £15 per month, the packages on offer provide good mobile broadband download speeds up to 3.6Mb, generous monthly download usage allowances and give people the option of a choosing either a rolling one month contract (known as pay as you go mobile broadband / no contract mobile broadband) or an 18 or 24 month contract. The O2 USB modem dongle will support speeds up to 7.2Mb so you won't need to change it when O2 roll this speed out on their network. Mobile broadband from O2 is one to be seriously considered and one we certainly recommend. |
