Right, im in Oz atm and im trying to get online using my brand spanking new lappy and i dont know wtf the deal is with these dongle things?? First off do i need one because i cant get online and have wireless built in?? Secondly how much should i be paying because i dont have a scooby and feel like im being ripped off. Been in a couple of shops to enquire and they are saying $90 for actual dongle and then $30 per month for 1 GB... HOWEVER, im also being told that 1 GB aint enough to play poker and i need like 17 GB or summat which will cost shit loads. Is one GB enough? Please help, im sooo fkin dumb when it comes to this stuff, tyty

1 Gb is tons for poker and surfing. Just don't do anything more than that, you tube, porn etc
I pay £15 per month in the UK

Also check they don't want to tie you into a contract or anything, they often do.

You sure? I never used to use more than 1 Gb when I used mine a lot. |

Most sites I've monitored use approximately 5Mb/hour which would mean 1Gb would last 200 hours. Add in a fudge factor for multi-tabling and 100 to be on the safe side seems about right IMO.
YMMV.

According to Skype, between 0.05Gb and 0.01Gb per hour depending on a whole bunch of factors.

If you just want online every now and then to check mail and shit you're probably better off just going into coffee shops n shit and using their wifi
fk the dongle

The very last hand of the night goes to Dewi James, who finds ACES and talks Raymond O’Mahoney into calling his all-in preflop bet of 15k. “If I had AQ, I’d call!” says Dewi. Raymond calls holding pocket 66’s.

Youtube will eat your allowance. I bought a dongle from T-mobile whilst I was waiting for Virgin to sort out my home net and used it to listen to the live WSOP feed. I used my entire allowance in a couple of hours (1GB) |
