Hi Simon
I use a MIFI unit on the 3 network!. I was lucky in that when I signed up for the contract I was given a mifi unit which would normally cost £50.00 I get 15g a month for £11.99 I never use that amount even with phones & laptops running off it! but it's such a great value deal I don't want to let it lapse. 3 are upgrading all to 4g as a free upgrade soon too . I also have a vodaphone dongle with a pre payed 1g but it is Tbh crap!. Kind regards Graham.
three network.. 1 gb a month on PAYG £10 and never use anywhere near
Thats a good deal Graham. Id keep it going too ..
How much wiring do you do Tony ? More from pitchside during the game or do you send more from after the game at home ?
3 here, £5 a month for 15GB with a mi-fi (rarely use) and hi-link dongle, i get this because im a long standing customer and occasionally threaten to go elsewhere as well as complaining when they make offers to NON existing customers
also use mine at work everyday to get rounf firewalls and never used more than 7-8GB a month
Maybe teaching Granny but you can tether a smartphone instead.
I have a 3 dongle but will be sending it back as my PC/Nexus are now tethered through my Galaxy S3 (and mini). I don't do trackside uploading but it might be worth looking at your phone contract instead?
Matt
this is why your question isnt exactly much use to you.. we all use different amounts.. I send pitchside.. but stock i send from home...
i use 3 mifi and buy my pay u go cards from Ebay, normally about £11 for 3Gig, lasts 90 days.Have no probs sending from pitch side and don't need it during closed season.
Simon,
I will warn you that Vodaphone is, as a rule, very poor around the grounds!! so pitch side transmision will be an issue!.
I struggle @ half time with 3 as everyman & his dog light up their mobiles but most of the time they fly as do O2 I believe, but the only time I used the voda dongle was @ Sheff Weds when 3 wouldn't send, (i'm sure they have a blocking system lol), & it took the whole half time to send just 2 images:shake:. 10 mins into 2nd half I sent 20 images in just over a min!.
I'm not trying to brand point but I'd hate you to buy a product that doesn't work:shrug: & with experence Voda doesn't work!!
The 20 in about a min was via 3 by the way!!That's interesting Allan ref Ebad, I'll look into that.
That's probably why they are the cheapest Graham. Thanks for the heads up.
DONT GET VODAFONE, mines awful
Never needed a back up but i suppose one of those 1GB PAYG jobbies might be OKThree it is then. O2 as a secondary ?
What are you paying for the 4g Nigel.
I have just looked and it shows £70 for 6Gb usable over 3 months.
I'm just not sure with us how much difference it makes getting lots if shots off at half time.
Speed gets good at most grinds once the crowds have gone.
Having said that I do find sometimes with 3g not all photos go, and I need to resend, so if 4g works a treat them maybe worth it.
I'm up for a couple of games over the weekend, so I'll let you know how it goes and what I think
Hi Nigel, am I right in thinking that the 4g dongle you have won't work on MacBooks ?
Never needed a back up but i suppose one of those 1GB PAYG jobbies might be OK
Failing that if youre with SKY then get registered on the "cloud" and always make a note of your nearest McDonalads LOL, for the price of a coffee it might get you out of a hole.
The 4G dongle from EE was excellent at both MK Dons and Watford. Will be going to Reading soon which is notoriously slow, so will see how it performs there
