Title: dongles Post by: sovietsong on December 20, 2008, 02:07:19 PM Hello all, I've moved house today and don't have the internet. As BT are asking for a 120 set up fee I was considering a dongle as we only need a landline for the internet.
A friend of mine has 3g but he says its useless and nearly impossible to play poker with. I've heard vodafone is better and wanted to ask who uses a dongle and how's the connection when playing poker? I live in leeds so not expecting huge problems with coverage, my pal says his just disconnects after a few hours even if he has a signal. Any help would be great, I hate that BT have you over a barrel if you want a decent connection!!

Providing you have decent mobile signal and are not in the sticks you'll be fine.

Pay the masked men from BT whatever they demand imo. |
