From time to time many will have wondered about chucking it all in and taking up a job that gets them out of the office more – or, at least, tried to figure out a way they can avoid wasting the best part of the day.

Even if they have a laptop computer, the amount of time office workers typically need to spend connected to the internet means that taking it outside isn’t going to be an option without trailing a long, cumbersome cable behind them. Discovering the benefits of mobile broadband brings an end to the dilemma of combining work with the outdoor life.

What is mobile broadband and how does it work?

Mobile broadband gives you access to a wireless high-speed internet connection by means of a device that connects to your laptop. These devices, or ‘dongles’ as they are widely known, are available from major mobile phone and internet service providers.

Although it has taken a little while to gain momentum, the concept of mobile broadband is at last mainstream and today it is possible to access the internet from anywhere you would normally be able to use a 3G mobile phone. In other words, just about everywhere short of the London Underground, basements and the more remote corners of the country. In many areas, particularly cities, coverage is good enough to achieve browsing speeds comparable to what you would have via your regular broadband at home.
