I've just replaced my BT landline/broadband with a '3'
mobile broadband wi-fi setup, which is working faster & more reliably than
the BT line ever did. As I often work away from home, I already had a '3' mobile broadband/dongle
contract at £15/month for 5GB, and negotiated a deal for 15GB at no extra cost whatsoever & with free 'Myfi' kit supplied. My BT landline was only being used for the broadband, and their total bill has been about £350 annually, so that is a useful saving.  I daresay other mobile network operators can do something similar.

I used an Orange dongle for some time while I was living in a B&B  in Cumbria, unfortunately I was outside the range of the proper 3G signal and all I ever got was about 7k on downloading, even slower uploading. Frustrating in the extreme. I used to enjoy sitting on the train to London and seeing the L.E.D. turn from green to blue, and then it did start working nicely.  If you live in a good reception area they are great, but do check before you buy one!
