Being able to stay connected to the web and email pretty much anywhere you go has become a vital part of everyday life for many of us, but at the same time there's much more potential to be had from mobile broadband.

Not all that long ago, using mobile broadband was costly, complicated and often rather slow too. These days, there are lots of deals and offers with the likes of pay as you go dongles for laptops and a variety of contract packages too.

Get connected

Mobile broadband is now a lot more efficient than it used to be, but you're certainly well advised to use the free online tools available on comparison websites, such as Broadband Genie, that will enable you to check coverage for starters. Most mobile networks have reasonable coverage, but it's possible to spend some time taking a look at the ones that feature most strongly in the areas that you plan to visit.

Back that research up by reading some of the genuine customer reviews on the website too, as this is often one of the best ways of checking if a mobile broadband provider lives up to their advertising claims. Remember that speed is always quoted as 'up to' so in reality will often be less.

Take a look at the download allowances too, which are getting better, but can be less flexible than with traditional landline or cable based broadband services. The mobile network still isn't really fast or efficient enough to cope with relentless downloads of enormous files, and packages generally reflect this. Keep an eye on terms and conditions if you're a heavy mobile broadband user.

Improved potential

Nevertheless, there's no disputing the power of the mobile broadband network. With much better coverage, faster speeds and increasingly generous data allowances mobile broadband can be a great asset if you wish to stay connected while you're away from home.

Pay as you go gives you the freedom to surf without any contract, while signing on the dotted line often gives you a more powerful package. Some mobile network providers even throw in a free laptop if you sign up with them for a longer term.

Another new concept is the MiFi, which is a router style gadget that allows you to share your mobile connection with several other authorised users. Remember that whatever package you go for, mobile broadband can be affected by network traffic and other factors that could impair the quality of it.

However, do your homework at the comparison stage and you should be able to find a mobile broadband deal that not only offers good value, but that also delivers great performance too.
