Things to be aware of

Three broadband is actually a subsidiary of Hutchison Whampoa. It was founded in 2003 as the first commercial video network in the UK. Using its own network infrastructure, the company supplies 3G and most recently, 4G Wi-Fi connections.

In December 2007, the company entered a 50/50 joint venture with T-Mobile known as the Mobile Broadband Network Limited. This combined the 3G networks of both companies, increasing its reach across the country. By November 2010, the network managed to obtain a total of 12,000 sites.

A YouGov survey in 2010 revealed Three was voted as the Best Network in terms of Mobile Broad for two consecutive years.

So now you know a little more about the history of Three mobile broadband, what exactly does it have to offer? At the moment there are three main deals available. These include:

  • Three Mobile Personal WiFi
  • Three Mobile Highest Usage
  • Three Mobile Dongles

The highest usage plan increases the allowance to 20GB, making it a good option for those who like to watch videos, download and regularly browse the internet via their mobile while they are travelling.

Costs

Dongles are available at £8 per month for a 1GB usage allowance. There are also Pay as You Go dongles available too. If you’re more interested in the personal WiFi option, you’ll again pay just £8 per month for the same data allowance. The highest usage plan is £22 per month and you do actually receive a free USB dongle with that plan.
