Create your own WiFi hostpot with Connectify
Whilst on holiday recently we were provided with a Home Plug solution to internet access in the cottage we were staying in. This was great for my laptop, but no so good for my phone or my daughter’s iPod Touch. After a search I came across Connectify – Windows software that will turn your PC [...]
No broadband, no home phone… welcome to O2!
It’s been quite a week. I’ve been using O2 broadband for a good few years now and have had no issues. Only recently I also moved my home phone to them as well and, so, when buying a new mobile phone contract it was O2 I went to (especially as they take £5 off your [...]
Top 6 Reasons to Use Your Smartphone as A Broadband Modem

Most smartphones can connect to wireless data networks automatically, allowing them to supply users with built-in applications that access Facebook, Twitter, e-mail, and other Internet resources.

Amazing deal on Samsung Galaxy S II
My mobile phone contract is expiring soon and, in the middle of a house move, I’m trying to find ways to reduce outgoings.

Home Broadband Choices
With a potential house move looming, it’s a good time to assess my future broadband options. I have a choice between ADSL (and, maybe, fibre broadband in the near future), cable and mobile broadband . I have to say, I find Virgin Media’s cable packages expensive. Yes, you get a fast speed but you do pay for [...]
BT Infinity… but sadly not for me. Yet.

I did an online Broadband speed test and fount her download speed was around 32 Mbps and upload speed was about 6 Mbps. [...]

3 PAYG Mobile Broadband
Back on the 24th I mentioned an excellent offer on 3 mobile broadband. Well, I ordered the broadband “dongle” on the 22nd and it turned up on the 30th. The packaging is small but contains everything you might need, including the USB device (which can also house a micro SD card so that you can it for storage as [...]

Fibre Broadband Options
It’s a while until my O2 broadband contract expires but, none-the-less, after all the issues I’ve had with them I’ll be keen to move on. It’s therefore worthwhile keeping an eye on the state of the market in the meantime. As I now have both cable and FTTC available to me it would seem churlish [...]
