Anyone know of a good mobile broadband?

As above... Vodaphone randomly died at any point between 1 and 5 mins of use. 3 randomly just doesn't work.

Does anyone know of one that Just Works Every Day?

We found o2 to be the best in our area but have a look here may help.

Cheers

Both of the above "Just work" for me....check coverage and, if possible, also try another laptop/computer....

I find T-Mobile to be the best for reception and reliability. Its not the cheapest but it does carry the advantage of working better indoors then the others due to the lower operation frequency.

you'll find no consensus tbh, it all depends on where you are. Im posting via vodafone no probs, but t-mobile is useless at my house.

As said above, ask locally as they vary in every place.

In my case, I get good service with T-Mobile, but it's rubbish in the next village over. Move a few hundred yards and it's fine again. A friend on the other side of town gets good service from O2, but not in my village!

I used '3' when we were building the house and had no landline.

Patchy at best... even though we have a '3' mast within line of sight less than 200 metres away!

vodaphone interface is pants we had 5 on contract at work ( they have a new version for the rest of europe but UK still on the old version !! )

Just moved to orange and it is 100 % better than the Vodaphones connect software I think the orange one is called huddle or somthing similar.

so far coverage is ok ( lucilly better for the director at home ) so thumbs up from me

I use 3 in Aviemore, Suffolk and Torquay and find it works fine, look at thier site for the coverage in your area.
