About T-Mobile Mobile Broadband
T Mobile offer several packages and features not found with other mobile internet providers. Most notably what T Mobile term the Flex tariff. This is predominantly a cellular phone package which comes with a provision for an amount of free mobile broadband. For users who may only need mobile internet access from time to time for a short period this is a great way to achieve it.
When it comes to traditional mobile broadband packages then T Mobile mobile broadband have a slightly limited range of subscription plans, none of which offer an exceptional data allowance as other providers do. What T Mobile does operate is a fair usage policy; this means that if you do happen to run over your data limit one month it is likely that they will not charge you for the extra data. However, continually running over your data allowance may see them limiting your service or charging you a fee per megabyte of data downloaded. The three standard monthly plans come with a completely free USB dongle to attach a PC or laptop to the 3G network. The laptop bundles, which simply mirror the features of the cheaper USB dongle bundles are well priced and the free netbook or laptops offered as a signup bonus are all top quality models.
One item of equipment that T Mobile sells which may be of interest to some users is the USB Share Dock. This is basically a Wi-Fi router which accepts a USB dongle as the source of the internet connection. Simply plug the T Mobile dongle into the USB Share Dock to create a Wi-Fi enabled multi-user internet connection using a single mobile broadband connection. The real limiting factor with this set up is the fact that none of the T Mobile subscription plans come with enough data allowance to run several PC?s on the same mobile broadband connection for very long. Still, this could be a very useful feature for some people.
T-Mobile mobile broadband in summary
Overall, T Mobile offers a very robust and reliable service with excellent coverage. The only real problem for users choosing T Mobile as their 3G internet provider is in the limited amount of data allowance supplied with even the most expensive plan. Heavy internet users would be advised to seek out a mobile internet provider which offers a greater download limit than that provided by the T Mobile packages.
