Ever improving network 3 has announced that it is to launch a new mobile broadband service for laptop users called 'Turbo' and at fantastic prices.
It will make three options available: 'Broadband Lite' - an entry level package which costs a mere £10pm with a 1GB allowance, 'Broadband Plus' a £15pm deal for 3GB per month and 'Broadband Max' for heavy users which provides up to 7GB for £25pm.
Perhaps better still however is news that should you go over your allotted allowance then you pay just 10p per megabyte. In addition, 3 will also offer customers a broadband modem for between free and £99 depending on the package and contract length.
So how does this compare to the opposition? Remarkably well considering the industry's previous best two T-Mobile and Vodafone start at £29pm and £25pm for 3GB respectively. As for O2 and Orange, don't even go there.
Info on the new 3 service isn't yet live on the company's site, but the service will kick off on 4 September

that's amazing.
I get 1mb and pay 40 pounds a month with bt (including phone line)
I wish I wasn't leaving the UK, 25 pounds for 3mb is perfect, especially since I could literally go ANYWHERE with my laptop.

no I meant mb
2.8Mbps to be specific. (was talking about speed)
Posted by batesie
no the 1gb and 3gb are the monthly usage limits... they support 1.8mbps at the moment and should be up to 2.7mbps shortly

batesie, when I read
"Maximum speeds of up to 2.8Mbps on 3's new Turbo 3G network in the UK "
what I was saying is that I currently have 1Mbps internet speed by BT, so 3Mbps per second (I rounded up from 2.8Mbps) would be great, considering that you are not tight to a wireless network or ethernet cable.
Just free to roam
