Chaps,
My ADSL line at home has steadily got worse over the last 3 months, and BT being the incompetent muppets they are have done nothing to rectify it.
As my now .5mb line is not fit for purpose, I was thinking of moving to a wireless solution until FTTC actually arrives in my area. Is anyone using a similar service, and what sort of tariffs would you recommend? I'd be fitting a dedicated 3g router for connectivity with my firewall.
Thanks

I used a 3 Mifi dongle for about 15 months, it was ok. I moved away because I needed more data, I was limited to 15Gb/month.

I'm in Australia, but I know a lot of people use these (myself included).
It's good as long as you have good reception.
I'm in an appartment, and the mast is the other side of the building so I'm only getting 40% signal strength.
We also put our phone through it, so have no land line at all.

Before I had a phone line put in I was using a standard 3 dongle with a Draytek router. The router is designed to run the HSPDA as a backup connection, but is perfectly happy if you don't set up the primary one to always drop to the backup.
