Dingle Dongle Dangle
The bizarrely named Dongle is the latest offering from 3 – a USB mobile modem which connects to the net via the mobile networks. An interesting alternative to wi-fi, you can use them anywhere there's a mobile signal so coverage is far better. Download speeds are slow, but increasing with the introduction of turbo networks.
Price: £99 (pay as you go and contract tariffs start at £10 per month)
