So as I wrote earlier, I’m waiting for my BT Infinity service to be connected tomorrow so I’m using my all new 3 E586 MiFi that I got last week. (Do read about the rather frustrating circumstances of that.) I thought I’d do another post about the MiFi just to illustrate how good I’m [...]

Help with satellite broadband: Does it actually work?
My wife’s parents live out in the middle of nowhere in Hampshire. When you put their phone number into the BT broadband speed checker, the system does the equivalent of burst out laughing, arms crossed, shaking its head. It estimates a speed of between 0.25mb and 1mb. This, then, is why when I go there, [...]
Standby to upgrade your Three MiFi
My Three MiFi unit is a business critical tool for me. Routinely, WiFi hotspots are so SHIT that I simply have to rely on my MiFi unit for connectivity. Three’s data network is amongst the best in the business — and the MiFi unit is a brilliant way of unlocking that for all your connectivity [...]
The conundrum with giving money to Spectrum Interactive
I’m in Manchester at the moment doing some filming at Old Trafford, the ‘Theatre of Dreams’ for Manchester United. I came up from London last night and stayed overnight in the Premier Inn next to the stadium. I then had to make what I’m sure is a very familiar decision to most readers — WiFi [...]

Deltenna WiBE boosts 3G signal 40x — the ultimate MiFi unit?
We’ve had a note in from the team at Deltenna to tell us about their newest gizmo, the Deltenna WiBE. Or, in other words, the ultimate MiFi unit known to man. At least, it looks that way. I know that Ewan actually saw one of these working last week and all things being equal, we [...]
New Series: How to deliver WiFi for 10,000 delegates, properly
I can’t stand going to events and conferences and finding the WiFi services are either faulty, slow or non-existent. It’s a big problem for event organisers — and one that can no longer be sidestepped as being the venue’s fault. Complain to the event organiser that, “The WiFi is rubbish,” or, “I can’t seem to [...]
MifiClub will rent you an MiFi for £19 (3-days)
Thank you to Richard who sent me a note asking me to check out MifiClub, a service that will send you a MiFi next-day in the United Kingdom. The service is obviously aimed at people traveling to the UK and staying for a few days or a week or so. It’s a smart concept. Here’s [...]
Vodafone’s dongles: Broadband for the luddite generation
I have to say, Vodafone UK is seriously, seriously disappointing when it comes to mobile broadband. I’ve been sitting enjoying both my unlocked Novatel Wireless MiFi unit for quite some time, but I’m hugely frustrated for the rest of the Vodafone marketplace not able to easily enjoy the benefits of MiFi. Pop over to challenger [...]
3′s next-gen MiFi unit is simply brilliant
I got hold of one of the new 3 Mobile WiFi units last week and I’ve been putting it through it’s paces. Regular readers will know that my opinion on MiFi was set to ‘ultra positive’ ever since I tested the Novatel Wireless device last year. Dongles are for dunces. A separate unit that enables [...]

This week, the airline confirmed an agreement with Panasonic Avionics Corporation to provide broadband access across its entire fleet, as well as call and data access for [...]
