With the clue being in the name, 3 Mobile was one of first companies to really push the 3G mobile internet broadband market to the public. Offering a range of services from a no-contract 'Pay As You Go' right through to a 7GB monthly allowance for £25 per month. Three also offer a couple of options in terms of the actual 3G modem device - using either the 'traditional' usb dongle, or a USB modem stick - which looks very much like a regular usb memory stick.
3's offerings promise "no more wires, no more hassles, no more waiting for a line to be installed. Just plug our USB modem into your computer and within five minutes you're on the web. You can even swap modem dongle between different computers. It's your broadband, so take it with you." We at mobilebroadband123 have tried the 3 USB dongle modem, and we were online in less than 60 seconds.
3 have been busy rolling out their 'Turbo network' in 2008, and the website claims that up to 85% of the UK population now lives within the Turbo Network Coverage. This figure will likely increase as time goes on.

I got a 3 payg dongle and it works well in towns and cities, but you can forget about it anywhere else.

3 has been pretty good for me during the past couple of months I've had it. I was a wee bit wary about whether I'd get a signal as I live in the country but generally I have got a decent signal.
