I'm thinking about changing the Broadband service at home. Currently we have a contract with Ripplecom for a fixed broadband connection in the house. We're living out in the sticks so we have a little flat panel antenna on the side of the house pointed at the nearest BB transmitter mast. This is wired to a wifi router which serves all of the gadgets in the house. Computers, ipad, iphone, wifi printer, etc.
The current subscription is pretty poor with 'up to' 2mb download speed and 40G usage limit @ €38.99 per month. I've never seen it anywhere near 2mb... It typically hovers around >1mb.
I'm thinking about ditching ripplecom and changing to a mobile broadband provider like Three or O2. My iphone is on the o2 network and most times I can get a pretty good 3G internet service on my phone in certain parts of the house. On occasions when ripplecom was offline I was able to hook my laptop to the iphone and use the iphone as a hotspot, but the download speeds weren't great, so all in all I'm a little unsure. I'm a bit technophobic when it comes to internet, so be gentle!
What's the best way to go about setting up a system for home that could also potentially be used in the camper?
Can the mobile systems handle multiple users?
This is the kind of thing I'm looking at -
