Dongles All Over!
Dongles are popping up all over the place these days. You can’t do an internet related search without hitting on a site that sells dongles. You can get them in all different shapes and sizes, and all of them come under a different package. Good luck in finding out which one to get…
In fact if you’re out to get a dongle, now would be a pretty good time. Dongle prices remain very competetive, with all the bog boy manufacturers and retailers trying to beat each other in the dongle war. There are a few things to be careful of though when you’re buying a dongle, and this is another good reason to buy now; if you wait, then this list will grow and grow as more and more dongle products appear on the shelves nearer to Christmas and the New Year.
- Check the coverage of your dongle. Don’t get caught out not getting the maximum speed offered in your contract.
- If you get a pay as you go dongle, look out for the expiry on them (if there is one); you want to get your money’s worth.
- Be very careful about dongle deals that offer free laptop computers. It can often be cheaper to save up, buy your own laptop, and use a different dongle provider.
- Be aware of the contract length of your dongle if you take this option. Two years can be quite a long time to remain in a contract for anything, never mind an internet dongle. It is worth considering that technology advances quickly, and price change too in a short period of time; who knows what dongle options will be available to you in the space of a year?
