T-Mobile Launches £2 Per Day Mobile Broadband

Mark.J writes "ISPreview reports that T-Mobile UK has launched an interesting range of new off-the-shelf Mobile Broadband products that do not require customers to sign-up under a long-term contract. The pay-as-you-go (PAYG) style products cost from only £2 per day for 'unlimited' access (3GB Fair Usage Policy applies). To access T-Mobile pre-pay Mobile Broadband, customers simply need to purchase a USB (Modem) Stick 110, which includes a memory card, for just £49.99 and plug it into a laptop to access their favourite websites. Credit can be topped up direct from the laptop and customers are able to select whichever package suits them at the time." For American readers, that's about $3.66 right now -- plus shipping yourself to the UK.

    Still, you're living in the UK, so it's not all wine and roses.

    Could be worse. I could be living in the USA where the next 300 years taxes my family will be paying will go straight into the pockets of the fat cat investment banks.

    You lucky bastards. Here in the UK we dream of YouTube not being illegal and being able to watch it ourselves!

    those surveillance cameras are entirely there solely to provide the next generation with episodes of Police Camera Action to keep them docile. Nothing to do with checking up on us or keeping us safe.

    Except of course, the ones on the roads, they're just there to raise revenue.

    "Assuming you check your webmail once a day on your phone, the daily rate will run you 60lbs a month"

    Sounds like a good weight loss program
