Despite the almost daily introduction of faster, cheaper and more accessible mobile broadband packages that have seen adoption rocket over the last twelve months, there does appear in certain quarters that mobile broadband is still a bit of a black art.

 

Well not so says Top 10 Broadband who claims to be the UK's most popular dedicated broadband comparison site.

 

After what It calls extensive research, Top 10 Broadband says that it has nailed what it believes are the most popular misconceptions about mobile broadband.

Commented Jessica McArdle, marketing manager of Top 10 Broadband, "With this guide we wanted to put myths surrounding excessive costs and slow speeds to bed. Mobile broadband download costs are down to an all-time low of £1 per Gb and download speeds are coming in at an average of 2.62 Mb - we think it's time to set the record straight on mobile broadband."

 

The full guide can be found at http://www.top10-broadband.co.uk/guides/mobile_broadband_myths/ but the top 10 mobile broadband myths in the guide are

 

  • Download allowances
  • Slow speeds
  • Rip-off laptop deals
  • Long contracts
  • Expensive data charges
  • Needing a dongle to connect
  • Overseas usage charges
  • Cost efficacy of deals
  • Dongle design
  • Home usage

 

Now these are all key issues and it's surprising to think that there would be confusion regarding a few of the categories but in general Top 10 Broadband seems to have done its job. Now go buy one if you haven't.
