That upped my service from about 80% to nearer 95%.<br /><br />A group test in PC Pro earlier this year suggested that if you travel a lot, you need to have two, three or even more with you to maximise your chances of getting a connection. Unfortunately I can't find that test right now. <br /><br />If you do go down the multiple-providers route, watch out for providers that are tied in with each other- there are two that use the same network. I can't remember which- I *think* it's O2 and T-Mobile, but I'm not sure. <br /><br />It's obviously more expensive to have two, but using pay-as-you-go or 30-day-rolling contracts helps reduce the cost increase.CJ Nerdnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28919367.post-91863091363027171642010-07-17T20:00:38.036+00:002010-07-17T20:00:38.036+00:00Braver man than me, Gunga Din....Braver man than me, Gunga Din....TonyFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14356306581977054156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28919367.post-28120067291079253102010-07-16T21:33:00.971+00:002010-07-16T21:33:00.971+00:00"Col".
