Beavis Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Right guys i have been thinking about getting one of these dongle things so i can access the net to play poker on my laptop when i am not at home and have no wi-fi access. What do i need, do i need this 3g coverage? i dont want to use this to download anything only to play poker so am i ever likely to get close to an upload/download limit set by the provider?

martinmac Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 They are great Dave, I am on one now on the boat and its pretty fast. I got mine from T Mobile, my phone provider. It works wherever my phone works and gives 3G minimum. On the thames I can get the really high speed stuff. Not very expensive and unlimited download.

Beavis Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 To be honest Martin this is for when i am work on nights when it goes quiet and i am waiting for something to go wrong. Just thought it would make the night go quicker if i was playing poker. And also to make a bit of money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 It should pay for itself Dave. http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/shop/mobile-broadband/ Just use your present mobile provider, they are probably all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beavis Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 Thanks guys something for me to think about. Should pay for itself Martin won a nice sum on Friday night in an online poker tournament. I finished third out of 886 runners I was mighty pleased with myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
