I have to say I’m sorely tempted to try out XCom Global’s latest offering. They can now offer you unlimited data via MiFi (or USB stick) for a thoroughly reasonable $14.95 per day across a phenomenal 195 countries (up from 67 previously). There’s no charge for the equipment and delivery is (generally free if you [...]

My top tip for data roaming in the States: The $99 Best Buy Connect MiFi unit
I’m having a wicked time now that I’ve got myself a Best Buy Connect MiFi unit. If you’ve been following my Twitter feed, you’ll have seen the videos I’ve been publishing about how much I’m enjoying being free from the stupid mobile data roaming rates that my operators are trying to foist on me. In [...]
The Hilton Birmingham Metropole (NEC) doesn’t quite get ‘WiFi’ yet
The warm embrace of technology has yet to filter out to the wilds of Birmingham’s Hilton Metropole next door to the National Exhibition Centre (“NEC”) it seems. I arrived into my room to find a relic of the cold war ready to supply my every connected need — via fixed line ethernet. I shit ye [...]
3′s E586 MiFi: Blown away by the ridiculously fast speed!
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 [...]
My new 3 Huwaei E586 MiFi: Faster than 65% of UK connections
That image there highlights just how good the all new 3 MiFi (Model: E586) is when it comes to offering a usable internet connection. Indeed, this connection isn’t just usable, according to Speedtest.net, it’s actually better than 65% of the rest of the United Kingdom. Love it. I’m using this at home in Ascot and [...]
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 [...]
3 MiFi success, yet-again, I love it (via Amazon)
I sound like a broken record when it comes to the 3 MiFi units. I’m use mine every day, especially when I’m driving (or, being driven, I should say) up and down the M4. The signal is just brilliant. Obviously the Deltenna WIBE is the daddy but in terms of ultimate portability, the MiFi combined [...]
Here’s what I think of Eurostar’s non-existent on-board WiFi
Feel the frustration. Utterly, utterly annoying. 2011 and no on-board WiFi yet.
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 [...]
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 [...]
The mobile reality: I’m in Richmond and I can only get EDGE
Well then. Yet again I am reminded of how supremely rubbish the mobile industry is. Occasionally I manage to pull myself out of this stupor and allow myself to get very excited at the possibilities. Then reality slaps me on the face with a big, wet haddock. I’ve been doing some work in Richmond-Upon-Thames. Near [...]
