Mobile broadband can offer you broadband type speeds on the move. You can use it effectively anywhere you can pick up a signal – and most of the country is covered. Mobile broadband is especially useful for those on the move (EG use it on the train), and those who like to take their laptop to a coffee shop, bar or even the park!
The access comes by virtue of a card or more usually now a USB dongle that you plug into your laptop. Actual download speed depends a lot on how good the reception in the area is, and you will find the maximum speed detailed below as a guide to the quickest available speed.
