Best Mobile Broadband Deal?

[graemepirie]

I have an orange mobile broadband dongle. Just asked them what the rates are abroad - and it's in new mortgage territory!

Can anyone suggest a provider that I can also use abroad without being totally ripped off?

I travel three or four times a year and being self employed I cannot afford to just ignore my email enquiries so I have to take a laptop. Some hotels offer wireless broadband as a free service but the rates charged when you have to pay are generally excessive. It's a constant problem.

I was away in Spain at the beginning of the month for eight days and I just used the local Internet cafe. This was also expensive at 2 Euros for the first half hour and 1 Euro for each subsequent 15m.

This is an ongoing problem for me so I would be interested to hear what others are doing.

Hi, thatnks for that - I'd concluded I'd be better buying one abroad!

The one I have is an orange one - on monthly contract - they wanted £8 / MB

I had visions of coming back to a 4 figure bill!
