Mobile Broadband

15GB mobile broadband

Mobile broadband packages are notorious for their low download allowances, but with a 15GB limit, you can do more online without having to worry about exceeding your allowance so soon.

15GB mobile broadband providers

Three (www.Three.co.uk) is currently the only provider to offer as much as 15GB a month.

However, both Orange Mobile Broadband (www.Orange.co.uk) and O2 Mobile Broadband (www.O2.co.uk) offer 10GB mobile broadband packages.

What can I do with a 15GB download allowance?

According to Three, a 15GB download allowance will allow you to:

• Send 15,000 basic emails
• Surf the web for 150 hours
• Download 75 four minute videos
• Download 480 four minute music tracks

Excess charges

Even though a 15GB monthly allowance is far higher than many other mobile broadband packages, you still need to keep an eye on your downloads to make sure that you don’t exceed your limit and avoid spending all day downloading programmes from YouTube or the BBC iPlayer.

Three charges 10p per MB for out-of-bundle data, which means that costs can soon add up. Log into your Three account to check how much you’ve used, or install our free Broadband Download Monitor to track downloads and set alarms so that you never go over your limit.
