Does 3G broadband bring back the desire for smaller pages?
I’ve lost my broadband connection: I know, careless really. Given that fixed line broadband takes five working days to install, I was nearly going out of my mind. I was given a lot of help by my friends in how to restablish my status – thank you all but I ended up getting a stop gap…
It’s as long as a credit card, about 2/3 the height and the thickness of a wallet full. It plugs in via a USB cord and just works. Top-up with a voucher and away you surf. I have to say the weirdest thing is how 3’s user interface is completely geared up for phones, while most of its customers are like me – surf hoppers.
And I have to say, that’s exactly how I feel – after bashing my head against fixed line reinstatement, this is a breeze.
Bye, bye lines. Except, I am now watching my bytes – it’s a return to making every bit count, turning off images and styling in an effort to keep down to the minimum and that makes it all really quick. Really, amazingly quick. So I’m thinking of rebuilding my laptop with a linux building to work once the cable is live again and wander free around the planet!
