Mobile Broadband Best Buys

Vote for Voda

About 3 weeks ago I opted for the Vodafone 30day contract at £15pm and so far its been stonkingly good across the south east (mainly Surrey and Sussex). I've also used it on both a Win 7 and MacOSX and I agree with the easy interface, I even taught my otherwise non-tech fiance to use it on both.

I did find that a software update was available via the Vodafone website and that only improved things even more!

Well worth the investment if you don't want to commit to a lengthy contract.

Avaya grabs Nortel's telecoms biz for $900m

Don't be afraid

I wouldn't be so worried, Avaya won't be forcing customers to rip and replace their kit as they have the session manager that'll let you upgrade gradually. & after all both vendors have been pushing open standards for a while now.

Useful Technology

ok so... I'm sat in my tank/shed, I can't see out of it, and I think to myself... hmm if only I could see out of this...

I then spend time and money to research an "anti-cloak" which in effect is nothing more than a flippin glorified periscope?! WOW... you can see why the MOD are interested in this technology... expensive, useless, and, oh yeah, assuming troops are fighting somebody with at least 1 brain cell who can use some form of heat detection camera... totally ineffective!

I bet the MOD will buy thousands!!
