Story: Vodafone unveils pay-as-you-go mobile broadband
Very handy for the business traveller - but shurely shome speed mistake?
PAYG Mobile Broadband may sound bonkers to people used to all you can eat tariffs - but I reckon this could prove very popular with regular international travellers who want cheaper domestic rate data charges. Buy one of these at the airport on arrival, use for a few days whilst abroad and save a packet on your data charges...
Anyone who has tried using mobile broadband whilst travelling is likely to have encountered the bill shock when you have returned to the UK. Even though I don't pay my own bills, even our financial controller pulled me up after a trip to France where I had incurred over £100 of data roaming charges for just a few days use - and apparently that is small fry. There are urban myths of lonely business travellers racking up £4k bills by watching 'Lead Balloon' via the BBC iPlayer - anyone got any good stories of stupendous bills?
I hate to nit pick - but surely the top speed you quote of 3.6 Gbps should read 3.6 Mbps? - otherwise this service would be faster than Virgin's new fibre network!!
