grth2004 Posted 20 May 2011 Share Posted 20 May 2011 Im about to move house and the only way im going to be able to get the internet is through a dongle . Just been looking at contracts and looking at the biggest monthly download allowance which is 15gb , and was wondering is anyone else using a dongle as i could do with some recommendations.

DB11 Posted 20 May 2011 Share Posted 20 May 2011 Why would you move somewhere where there is no internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zubi Posted 20 May 2011 Share Posted 20 May 2011 Download as much porn as you can now and store it on a hard drive for later use, ration it. That's the best advice you will get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozleicester Posted 20 May 2011 Share Posted 20 May 2011 Check the level of coverage in your area for each provider BEFORE commiting to anything long term... some dongle coverage is just appalling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox92 Posted 26 May 2011 Share Posted 26 May 2011 ... some dongle coverage is just appalling. I agree with this. I looked at one previously but didn't bother beacuse of the coverage and all that. I'm not sure if the PCI one's are better either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if the PCI one's are better either. Ended up buying one from tesco , its on the three network and cost £20 with 1GB allready pre loaded . So far its worked much better than i expected and coverage is great here (coalville area) i have full signal all the time , downside is though can only really surf the net as videos take too much data Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox92 Posted 12 July 2011 Share Posted 12 July 2011 I was looking at purchasing either a dongle or PCI network card for my current stand a lone system which is upstairs (the router is downstairs). Which is better to buy, and will the coverage be any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox92 Posted 12 July 2011 Share Posted 12 July 2011 Hows about just an internal wireless card? I think I looked and fancied one of them. PCI slot? They are only about £7 as well. That would probably be better than a USB dongle because it wouldn't get knocked. My only problem lies within whether the distance will be fine.

Fox92 Posted 19 July 2011 Share Posted 19 July 2011 Hows about just an internal wireless card? Got a wireless PCI card today. Brought it from eBay on Sunday. Connnected my standalone system to the internet and it works fine. In fact, thats how I'm typing now Good range as well, I'd recommend one of these.
