Spending the next week on 3G only

Trying to line up suppliers when you are moving house is akin to herding cats or trying to get Lotus Geeks to decide where to go when in Vegas (yes, it’s an “in” joke).

Although the Sky TV move happened on schedule, Virgin Media wont install my broadband for another week. In fairness, this is not a delay, it’s just their next available slot. Another wincing point is that I am being moved from cable broadband to good ‘oul adsl (telephone line based) broadband. God help me.

So between now and then, all the kit in my house will connect to the intertubes using my MiFi. So far, this device has never failed to impress and has saved me a fortune.  This little device gives me decent connectivity on the Three network (although it is unlocked). A few short years ago, this would of been considered smokin broadband!

My lack of travel for the first half of this year is now leading to a fairly unforgiving few months ahead.  Trips to France, Austria, Germany, Holland all are now in the near future.  Having a PAYG data sim in each of these countries (when you land – buy one if you have a MiFi) saves a lot of money.  Strongly recommended.
