The gobabymobile dongle dock works with "Any Dongle on Any Network"

[MrMiddle2000]

I wish the U.S. had options like that! Another great video by the way.

But does the rooter clean drains?

[ToeNaylz]

Thanks. Good stuff

Worth pointing out - you can get "12GB sims" for three on ebay for £40-50, and 18Gb six month sims for as little as £20.

[Techmoan]

@zentamm Thanks. Very useful information.

[DiyEcoProjects]

nice one mate, thats realy helpful. Have you looked at fon / fonara? Its a box you attach to your wifi and create its own small wifi-hotspot. the idea is that you keep your wifi on (plus this box) and go out. so long as your wifi is on, you can have access to everyone elses including all the BT-fon connections. theres thousands of those. Is a 1 time payment. i dont work for them so anyone readying this please search for it. I'm thinkng of getting one as an alt to 3g dongle.

[doomprophet]

I would love to se more videos like this one! My speed in the US is 23 Mbit download and 5 Mbit upload for 35 US dollars a month.

[2001Arion]

u ever been to Ledds before?



[SirFragalot]

Great video. It's kinda sad seeing you talk about 800kbps download speed being rubbish when where I am at in the USA, my top download speed is 125kbps with no alternatives.

[Techmoan]

@SirFragalot Sorry to hear that.....but on the plus side I'm sure you have better weather than I do and can get a much better steak at a restaurant.

[eskuAdradit0]

This wouldn't work outside the UK, mrite? :(

[Techmoan]

@eskuAdradit0 This probably wouldn't but I'm sure there is something similar that you could pick up....Search for a 3G Router.

[urbex2007]

That is quite handy to know about. What a pity BT couldn't fit some sort of hub in each street for people to use. Phone lines were never designed for broadband data, only narrow bandwidth speech, so they do quite well as many are 50+ years old! There are far cheaper packages than £14 a month for low data users, but this addresses the slow download speeds.

[cscarlet696]

I might consider this for my nan who will be getting her first laptop soon, I always thought prepaid data other the mobile network was extreme but your right I don't imagine they will be streaming 24/7

[moonbear]

another nice review bud clear and well put across..

[kb1nyd]

Well I am a power user of internet, so this would not work for me. But I can see where that would be perfect for your Dad. Another great vid!

[Alexzone45]

I still think your dad is lucky with his internet speed, I have to make do with 200kbps download speed !!!

[EgoShredder]

Excellent video with all the relevant information and no waffle, and very clearly explained. This is very useful for me because although my Virgin Media Cable home connection is soon to be 100Mbps, once I move house I might have to leave their service and rely upon something else. The last thing I want is to use an ADSL service, so this very flexible and portable package detailed in your video is a good option. The only downside for me apart from speed is the bandwidth download/uoload limit.

[andythewooferguy]

its really good. but I got a phone with 3 once and they never sent it to us

[klamberext]

Ideal solution for me too. Seen those but never thought about this. I am messing around with linux and 3G modem. Those things are like cats and dogs-some have them friendly. :D

[NobbysPcHelp]

@klamberext i think you will want more than 1GB per month if you go on youtube.

[diiebane]

You're a good son ;)

As always outstanding job on getting information across!

[kodamathedestroyed]

My only suggestion for the slightly paranoid or nerdy amongst you is to kill WPS (some questions about it's security), change the standard admin password on the ZTE and give it a much longer WiFi password. Otherwise great for those with a whiff of 3G reception.

[smartalmos95]

I want LTE

[321bytor]

Very good. 

[Dhintheman]

Fantastic video, have you thought of trying to get a job with BBC Click, I am sure you would do a much better job. You explain things in a easy to understand manner. Thank you. :)

[Techmoan]

@Dhintheman I applied to the BBC - I'm apparently in their 'Talent Pool' of applicants ....which really means I'm in the 'round filing basket'.

[EgoShredder]

@Techmoan

Yep to get on the air, you need to be in the 'slimy arse licker good @ human networking basket'.

[cscarlet696]

@Dhintheman NO! His much better than the crap that Click spews onto the air, that program always infuritates me with its people should protect themselves for phising and then not actually stating some simple steps to avoid being a victim.

[turk0wnzz]

your dad is lucky hes got a son like you =]

[rogueqd]

My mum uses a similar router because she's in a remote area. No adsl at all, but she get's a couple of bars of 3G signal from the towers along a near by highway.

[mxf7010g8k]

great video! you going to review the new 1080 HD 808 cam coming down the pipes!? theres a thread on facebook about it and it looks like its going to out soon!

[Techmoan]

@mxf7010g8k That's news to me...but if I can get hold of one, I'll have a go.

[ace2thebass]

i think this is a great idea. thanks techmoan, you always give food for thought.
