Top mobile broadband from o2

o2 USB modem

Looking to get mobile broadband on your laptop? We're now seeing O2 Mobile Broadband offering the best option in the UK.

o2 will provide you with a PC and Mac compatible USB dongle on contract or on Pay-as-you-go. Here are the options:
  • Pay-as-you-go: Get the dongle for £29.35 then choose to pay £2 a day (for days you use it), £7.50 a week or £15 a month. A simpler option than pay-per-megabyte offered by other providers.

  • Contract: for £15 a month (£10 for the first 4 months), with a 3gig a month cap.

Details of this top offer from o2 can be found at broadband.o2.co.uk/mobile

We've added a new page of information outlining the options for getting Internet access on the move, or where there's no fixed-line Broadband access. Take a look at our new guide at www.filesaveas.com/mobileinternet.html
