Mobile broadband discount for Three customers

Garnet Roach garnet@consumerchoices.co.uk

The UK’s cheapest mobile broadband providers has just slashed its prices for existing customers, bringing its lowest-priced package to just £5 a month (06-05-08).

The promotion, which cuts mobile broadband line rental in half for life, is only available to current 3 (www.Three.co.uk) mobile phone customers.

And those signing up to one of its Lite, Plus or Max mobile broadband packages before 31 May for 18 or 24 months will also get a free USB dongle.

Broadband Lite, which comes with a 1GB usage allowance will cost existing customers just £5 a month from £10, Broadband Plus, with a 3GB usage allowance will cost £7.50 a month from £15 and Broadband Max, which has a usage allowance of 7GB a month will now cost existing 3 customers from £25 a month to just £12.50.

3 is currently upgrading its network to offer speeds of up to 7.2Mb but at present top speeds are up to 2.8Mb.

Michael Phillips, BroadbandChoices.co.uk product director, said: “If you’re an existing 3 customer this is a great opportunity to try cut-price mobile broadband that stays low for the life of your contract - and even a free dongle worth up to £99.99.

“However, you need to keep an eye on your downloads with 3 as it has a set usage limit and charges 10 per MB over your 1GB, 3GB or 7GB allowance. Install our free Broadband Download Monitor on your laptop to keep track of your downloads and set an alarm to ensure you never exceed your limit,” he advised.
