Mobile broadband on PC?

Question

is a mobile broadband only for laptops or for PC as well?Do I need have mobile in the same company to get their mobile broadband?

Answer 1

No reason why you can't use it with a desktop, assuming you get good reception on that network in your house.

You don't need to have a phone with the company as you can get a usb mobile internet adaptor that has it's own sim card.

Beware though, it's expensive compared to adsl/cable and all the mobile broardband services in the UK have download limits.

Answer 2

I use a mobile broadband on my desktop PC, I don't have a laptop.  It is more expensive that landline broadband though.

Answer 3

You can get it on Desktops as long as it a USB Mobile boardband adapter.

Without the USB one. Then, it won't work.

Also, USB is an increase in price so pay attention to that.

Answer 4

You can use it with your desktop - after signing contract you will get 3G mobile modem connect it via USB port , install provided software and you online . But why do you want to get mobile broadband for desktop it's slower then landlines ( average 3G broadband connection speed 2MB/s and average landlines speed 10MB/s some ISP provide with services up to 20-50MB/s depending on where do you live ), have low download caps ( 10GB per month ) . Most people get 3G broadband for laptops due to often travels and I don't believe that you'll be taking your desktop on any of your travels ( good sight desktop on train or airplane ) .

And no you can chose any 3G provider regardless of your mobile carrier ( some carriers might offer better deal for costumer with multiple products )
