Mobile broadband is still an expensive option compared to home broadband and if you're not in a 3G area it's too slow but it really comes into its own when you're out and about and need internet access.
All you need is a Windows or Mac Laptop with built-in mobile networking or a USB stick modem, sometimes referred to as a dongle. There are pay monthly and Pay As You Go (PAYG) plans available from all the mobile phone networks.
