You know this BT thingie that means you can go on -line away from the house - what's it called & does it work?

[KatyMac]

Because I'm going away & I want to see if I can go on-line while I'm gone

DH will be watching Olympics as he isn't allowed outside so I thought I'd see if I can MN

It's called BT Total Broadband Anywhere

I know a few people who have this (staff) and the only negative thing i've heard about it is that the battery life on the handset is crap.

Nope I don't think this is it either

I used it once by accident at a service station - I just logged in with my BT password & used a ireless connection

BT Openzone?

dh will know, we have BT

I will ask him when I see him if you like

That's it - Openzone

It's miles away

This holiday really is jinxed

£35 for a USB dongle seems expensive. 3 will do one for £15/month with 5GB usage.

Think you need the check the network coverage of where you will be staying. I nearly bought the 3G stick until the salesman had a fit of conscience and told me that actually, it didn't really work in our town.
