Huawei E3231 Dongle from 3
I have just recently purchased this for a project where it was not possible to install wired broadband, particularly as the project is of such short duration (3-4 weeks), so I needed to investigate options for 3G broadband with a reasonable data cost/renewal… from all of the providers I looked at, Three appears to have the best offering for my needs.
