paime Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Unfortunately i don't get internet in ma new hoose until 10th January. Not being able to play CoD is one thing but missing out on ipad-porn.com is something im not willing to endure....ergo.....does anyone have any suggestions for good 'dongle' deals? Do you have to have them on a fixed contract for a certain period of time or will i be able to get one for a fixed price which will take me up to January?EDIT - the word 'dongle' makes me chuckle.

Jaaakkkeee Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 if you have a smartphone, you can turn that in to a wireless hotspot for like... 15 quid a month rolling contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paime Posted December 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Will the Samsung Galaxy S2 do it?My worry is that i get crap reception (i.e. rarely 3G) at my house so if i get a dongle or turn my phone into a wireless hot spot, will i still get a terrible connection?

Stroopy121 Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Yes an S2 will do it, but yes you'll still get a shit connection. It'll actually be slightly worse than normal phone browsing.xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paime Posted December 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 So all in all, im screwed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroopy121 Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Maybe. My mother-in-law uses a dongle (LOLZ HURR HURR HURR) so I'm asking her if it's rolling or fixed (HAHA OMGZ LOL DICK JOKEZ) and how much it costs etc. Will post if/when I get a reply.xx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattJimF Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Quite often the dongles get better reception than phones as there is less gubbins inside them. Do none of your neighbours have wifi you can piggy back onto for the promise of some beer/cash/sexual favours?I have the Three dongle which was £80 for the dongle and 3 months worth of usage, they also do the mifi for £60 with 3GB of data PAYG. Again best to make sure you can take it back for a refund if you can't get a signal (ask for it in writing). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paime Posted December 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 My next door neighbour is 80 years old. If i ask to piggy back of her connection she'll probably think im hitting on her. Im willing to give it a shot, though. If she resists then i'll move in for the struggle snuggle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
