T Mobile internet

Ken · 12th March 2008, 15:22

At the moment I have AOL internet but the exchange here is very old and only capable of about 1MBps whether its AOL or BT it makes no difference.

With my T mobile phone bill this morning was a £15 per month offer of their web'n'walk Plus service,

Perfect for web browsing, accessing emails, downloading files and audio/ video streaming (excludes internet calling services like Skype) and no matter how much you surf, your monthly cost is fixed .

Seems you get a USB modem so plug it in and away you go and speeds are supposed to be up to 3.7 MBps and later this year 7.7 MBps

Does anyone have this sort of connection and does it work? Aol may be very slow but its reliable and never not got on line, is this as reliable? I have a full strength signal on my mobile phone so coverage is good assuming they use the same mast as the phone

Thanks for any help

Ken, I'm with Orange (formerly Wanadoo, formerly Freeserve) and get 8MB in my area. It is reliable but the maximum I ever get in connection speed is 6.6MB. It is a fixed price (I think it's about £18p/m) and no time limit on surfing and (I think) I'm limited to 20GB download p/m. It also provides for up to 5 websites at 30MB each.

Thanks Colin

Is your connection always that good? If Orange is £18 per month is that it with nothing else to pay?

Ken :lol:

Sorry Ken, I should have been clearer there. 6.6MB is the maximum speed I ever get. That doesn't happen all that often. Around 5MB+ is more normal with about 2MB being available at "busy" times.
I'm not 100% sure but I do think it is £18 p/m that I pay and that is for everything mentioned previously. I have heard of the likes of Talk Talk giving a better package deal (Phone, TV and Internet for something like £20-ish p/m) but I'm not sure of the details.

Thats pretty impressive for mobile technology! Better than some landlines I've heard about!

You have to be very careful with the mobile Technology.
I have the Vodafone system for saving money in hotels,
in some areas it works fine but in some locations you get no Signal at all.
Check the Maps on their site for coverage and max Speeds, to make sure your Location is covered.
Mine works at Home Location at 2.1MB but next door for some reason max is 512kbs.
So please check before signing any contracts.

Ken, my apologies, I appear to have gotten the wrong end of the stick somewhat. If I'd read your OP properly I'd have noticed you were talking about moblie services and not land-line. Doh!

Thanks Tatts.

I promise not to get involved in future until I have read the OP properly.

No problem Colin

I may be being dim but, here goes.
T mobile web and walk appears from their web site to be internet access on a mobile phone, not PC.
Any type of internet connection over your land line will have the same restriction no matter which company supplies your service as it distance from exchange that is the issue not supplier.
