3 cuts prices on pay as you go mobile broadband dongle
When I got my mobile broadband from T-Mobile I thought it was a good deal at £30 a month for unlimited use (well sort of unlimited), today I hear that 3 is cutting prices for its customers and giving them Pay As You Go Mobile Broadband to buy for £69.99 instead of the previous price of £100.
Once you brought one of these 3 dongles you can get 7GB of usage when you pay £25, 3GB with £15 and 1GB data allowance with £10. Not a bad deal at all, looks like I may have to move.
