Dongle: Broadband Access on the Move













If you’re often on the move or your job requires you to go on the move while at the same time still need to have you connect to the internet for the current progress or updates, or you’re just any one who wants to access the internet from anywhere; then a dongle is the right option for you! Dongle is a USB modem you plug in to your laptop or pc giving you broadband access anywhere with 3G mobile coverage and they are particular popular with laptop users who want broadband on the move. Although their speeds are a little slower than fixed line broadband and download limits can be more restrictive so they won't cope with online gaming very well but are fine for general broadband activity.
Most customers buying a broadband dongle do so to check email and surf the web when on the move or away from home on their laptops. Though speed is important these activities don't require speeds of much more than 1Mb which most mobile internet connections will easily deal with. Mobile internet access through broadband dongles will or USM modems can deliver speeds of up to 7.2Mb through Vodafone who currently offer the fastest mobile broadband product. On the average though speeds are around half of fixed line broadband services though mobile broadband dongle is a relatively new technology and speeds are expected to increase. Speeds are slower in some rural areas where coverage is not as strong. But still this is the best option for on the go people who wants to continuously connect to the internet.
