Hi Tristram and others,
I can confirm that the offering from T Mobile is accessible, with some
elementary use of the mouse pointer in WE or the JAWS Cursor in JFW. The
speed is also ok. It normally claims to connect at 7.2MBPS (though I'd take
this with a pinch of salt), and I downloaded a 100MB Audible file in just
over 5 minutes.
Obviously you are dependent on the Mobile signal as to whether it works in
your area.
I am seriously considering it as an alternative to my fixed broadband.
Edward

I have been looking at this more seriusly now, it used to be that mobile was
so expensive that only business people could really afford it and you needed
a monthly contract anyway which would be around £30 or £40 a month. If I
pick one of these I will let the list know how accesible it is, there will
be softwre that you can use with each of these that will let you know your
usage.
Vodafone do contract but also do a plan which you do on a month to month
basis about £20 (3GB) but I presume you can let it lapse until there is
another month on which you need mobile internet, may be alright if you're
the sort of person who only needs it when you go on holiday in the UK:

T-Mobile organise things a little differently with a £4 per day that you use
the service within a given month. The limit is 3GB fair use within the
month. The adaptor is £99:

Three are possibly most flexible and quite fast. They give you a tiered
pricing thoug the top up process seems a bit complicated. The adaptors
range from £45 to £75. Seems an attractive offer:

Hi Billy
Yes there is. If you don't take out a contract, you will have to pay
for the USB modem which normally comes free when you are on a mobile
broadband contract.
I know Vodafone and T-Mobile both do this on a Pay-As-You-Go basis now.
I've never done it, but I believe you plug the USB modem into your
laptop and install the software.
