Magical Mobile Broadband

Getting online in Dublin has been a wee bit of a challenge. The wi-fi at the short-stay apartment is intermittent and the cost is oddly variable depending on who is staffing the reception desk. So, we popped out at picked up 3G USB modems from 3. Handy, reasonable and quite speedy. I am sitting on the sofa at the apartment now. Have a solid connection and as long as I don’t go past the 10Gb limit, it costs me 25 euros a month to be able to connect anywhere there’s a signal. It looks like there’s strong 3G coverage throughout Dublin and apparently over 87% of Ireland. So far very impressed. You plug in the small and handy fob, input your number, top up your account with a voucher and go to town. An app pops up when you insert the modem, click connect and the magic happens.
