Over the past year, more and more mobile networks are offering a service called mobile broadband. Vodafone, 3, and T-Mobile are just some of the big names getting involved.

This can be – and often is – easily confused with internet on your mobile phone, which has been widely available now for some time. However, mobile broadband is different.

It works by giving the user access to a high speed broadband connection through a USB modem or data card that allows you to connect to the internet from any location. So whether you’re at home, in the car, at the park or on the train to work, you can quickly and simply connect yourself to the web.
