Rippped's Review of 3 Mobile Broadband Plus
5th Nov 2008
Overall Rating
- Value for money
It is mobile depending upon where you are going and where you live of course
Bad Points
Customer service if you have a problem is diabolical (I returned to the shop in Northampton where I bought it they would do nothing to assist resolving my continual loss of service problems)
It is much slower than the advertised speed of 3.6 indeed when one of my several modems is connected whilst reading HSDPA on the modem flash page my download speed has been as slow as .2 kbs hardly broadband is it lol
General Comments
If you do sign up with 3 'broadband' (I use that word very sparingly) be prepared for months of wrangling with them if they have a network problem and no refunds for loss of service. Apparently the local mast feeding my holiday home at Billing Aquadrome has been degraded and under maintainance for over 2 months now hmmmmm.
It has miraculously resolved itself this morning after I threatened court action and cancelling my 8 yes 8 contracts with them (it did work ok once foolishly I believed I would get a reliable service)
Be very careful if you are signing up to 3 service that you are in a good reception area their own broadband map can be very missleading as I have found out to my cost.
