More and more people are swapping for their routers for dongles, but why? In this post we will give you 5 reasons why mobile broadband is becoming increasingly popular.

• Mobile broadband is great for people on the move. Mobile broadband technology allows users to browse the internet from anywhere with a mobile signal. You can use your dongle at work, holidays, when travelling. For example, I recently used my dongle on a train around London, and although the connection was poor at some stations it was great having the flexibility of working and checking emails whilst travelling.

• Mobile broadband is a great way to supplement your existing fixed line connections as mobile broadband doesn’t restrict your physical location. On the rare occasion my home broadband goes down it’s great having a back-up.

• Broadband dongles are great for students at university, who tend to move around different rental accommodation.

• Dongles remove the hassle of having to cancel and re-register with an internet service provider.

• Pay as you go (PAYG) option – say good bye to fixed monthly contracts. Like with PAYG mobile phone deals you only pay for what you use, so ideal for people who don’t want to be tied down to a long-term contract. A pay as you go broadband dongle also makes a great gift for a loved one.
