Internet Away From Home?

[themistry]

Hi all,

i'm in London doing the Monday-Friday hotel thing for the next 5 months.

Internet is £7 a day in the hotel, they have BT OpenZone wireless, but thats fairly expensive too.

I was thinking about getting a 3G datacard for my laptop. Whats options do I have?

Could anyone recommend something they have used thats not too expensive.

I'm only gonna be using it to check email, reads news sites etc. Nothing major.

Oh, and whatever I go with, can I expense it in?

Help appreciated.

Tons of places do free wifi. Many of 'em are pubs, etc.

I have a 3 USB dongle in MyCo's name - does the job very well, IMO.. PAYG and monthly (from £10 a month) options..

I see what you mean

You won't go far wrong with one of these.

£39.99 for the dongle. Top ups are £10, £15, £25 and give you 1GB, 3GB and 7GB respectively.

Perfect for general surfin, CUK, MSN and email/webmail.

Top ups last for 30 days or until you use up the quota (whichever comes first).

I use the USB one from Vodafone...works good...on both Mac and XP, although it is more reliable and easier install on the Mac.
