Did not consider 3UK as the coverage over here is not so good. Went into the O2 shop(Tuesday this week), the O2 sales guys pounced with a stream of questioning as to what I was looking for. I explained that I was looking for a mobile broadband package. The "manager" explained that O2 was launching TODAY (Thursday) an unlimited usage package with no tie in to a long contract (30days notice etc.). Cost of dongle £100.. He went on to explain that if I signed onto another deal they could convert me to the unlimited usage plan. Needless to say I smelt a rat and he was telling blatant lies. Needless to say O2 have not offered this package yet on their web site. <a href="http://businessshop.o2.co.uk/tariffs_index.aspx?x=1&term=30&groupid=29" rel="nofollow">http://businessshop.o2.co.uk/tariffs_index.aspx...</a> when will the networks stop employing "snake oil" sales men!!!!<br><br>I went back to the Vodafone shop around the corner, treated with courtesy and paid £99 for the dongle and a £20 per month deal with no tie in and more importantly no BS from wannabe 2nd hand car sales men.
