From the Orange Mobile Broadband (www.Orange.co.uk) coverage map, you can see that the provider covers a large portion of the UK with its mobile broadband network, offering speeds of up to 3.6Mb.
The purple areas on the map show which parts of the country are covered by Orange’s mobile broadband network - giving you a good indication of whether or not you'll get a signal.
However, it is essential that you compare mobile broadband coverage in your area by doing a specific postcode search. You should also check what your signal will be like in other areas - such as your local pub or along your daily commute.
Most mobile broadband coverage checkers only show you what your signal will be like outside, so double check with your chosen provider to see how much bandwidth you could lose indoors.
Orange offers a wide choice of packages, including one-month mobile broadband deals and longer contracts, with the option to top up your download allowance from as little at £5 for 1GB.
It even has a range of Early Bird tariffs that offer free overnight downloads between midnight and 9am - allowing you to do all your downloading at night, without eating into your monthly download allowance.

A mobile broadband dongle allows you to connect to the internet using the mobile phone network. This means that you can take your broadband with you wherever you go and surf the web, check emails or watch videos on YouTube anywhere that you get a mobile signal.
Simply sign up to a pay as you go mobile broadband deal or a contract to get your USB modem stick. Plug this into your laptop or netbook and you'll be ready to go in minutes.
