The mobile internet has suddenly become very affordable in recent times, and the networks have been upgraded to offer true data mobility. Both 3 and O2 now support a 3.6 Mbps HSPDA network, with 3 running favourably at under EUR20 a month…they would also appear to have best coverage at time of writing, but can’t fully comment as of yet on practical download speeds in urban/rural/in-motion scenarios. Vodafone seem to be lagging somewhat in infrastructure at the moment stuck at the older 1.8 Mbps system, this will surely change before too long I suspect..the only thing that dissatisfies me at the moment is lack of an option for ExpressCard modem from any network provider, who all choose to stick with the more ubiqituos and yet dated PCMCIA cards of old…the cards individually cost a whole lot more when not subsidized by network on purchase..
