India broadband

Mobile broadband as we all know is catching up in UK and the rest of Europe aswell but the prices still remain very high in most of the countries. In UK a mobile broadband connection will set you back by around £15 every month depending on which mobile broadband provider you go with and the package you opt for. Almost all the internet service providers offering mobile broadband service have a cap on bandwidth usage which makes it mandatory to have a seperate residential broadband connection for heavy duity usage as otherwise you have a risk of exceeding bandwidth quota of your mobile broadband connection and possibly get a huge bill which can run into thousands of pounds as I have read on some forums where some people used these connections for downloading movies and music without realising that they will be paying for the extra usage.

The main mobile broadband service providers in the Uk are T-mobile, Vodaphone, 3g, Orange mobile broadband and thats it I think.. if you know any others please feel free to leave your comments. The best way to choose what suits you best is to compare mobile broadband offers by different internet service providers and go for the one which suits your pocket and your monthly requirements. I have used T-Mobile’s mobile broadband service for about a year and a half when it was first launched back in 2005 and at that time my town Crawley in Westsussex was not covered by 3g services due to which I had to rely upon gprs connection while in Crawley but now 3g is almost every where and I get excellent speeds where ever I go although I have changed my service provider now. While travelling its a great way to spend time surfing the net in a train as you can utilise the time doing something constructive. If I could change one thing about mobile broadband in UK that would be the harges while roaming internationally as its just out of reach for people like me to afford such high rates otherwise the prices in UK for mobile broadband have come down considerably in the last couple of years and thats whats spreading mobile broadband to every corner of the country.

Broadband penetration in UK is not as much as I would like it to be at the moment as countries like Japan, Tiawan, South Korea are far ahead of us in that respect. I have been trying to spread awareness amongs our local community about the benefits broadband brings with it which did help in increasing the number of broadband connections on my own street atleast
