Are you playing with the idea of a change from your fixed line broadband to mobile broadband? Do you know enough about the difference between the two in order to make a call sound judgment?

In this paper, we aim to make it easier for you to decide by comparing things such as speed, reliability, cost, download options and ease of access.

What is the best for speed broadband?

Mobile broadband speeds depend on the availability of 3G mobile telephony.

The speed of broadband fixed, on the other hand, hinges primarily on how far you live from your local exchange.

The mobile broadband speeds currently range between 1.8Mbps and 7.2Mbps. These speeds are very competitive with fixed broadband connections, but vary considerably, depending on the network used and the coverage area.

As with fixed broadband, you can not store too much advertised speeds and mobile broadband connections become much slower outside the 3G coverage area.

If your current connection to fixed line broadband is faster than 5 or 6 Mbps, it is unlikely at the moment so you would be able to improve that with a similar mobile broadband.

Who is cheaper?

You must be careful not to take too much extra cost when you watch your favorite programs weekly on BBC iPlayer, as one of them could take up to 10% of a monthly download limit of 3GB.

If this is a bit of turn-off, the good news is that mobile broadband T-Mobile , a mobile broadband providers do not penalize those who exceed their monthly limit, but it does come with a "fair use" provision.

So where are we?

Currently, a mobile broadband is invaluable for anyone who needs Internet access when they are away from home or beyond hotspots.

The time will doubtless come when mobile broadband connections are used in every home in the United Kingdom, although this is the main form of web access or backup is uncertain at present.

It is easy to see why we think that mobile broadband users will eventually exceed fixed lines, if the jury is still out on whether landline connections will be replaced completely.

The last word on this subject, and what can be predicted with confidence is that the number of mobile broadba.
