Hi,<br>
<br>
My broadband connection has been down since Thursday. Plus.net have<br>
said it is a problem at the local exchange and that an engineer will<br>
go there on Monday, so maybe I'll be reconnected next week!<br>
<br>
But I want to have a backup connection option. Mobile broadband for<br>
Windows & Mac is no use to me since I use Linux & so all my<br>
hg/git/VPN/etc using Linux.<br>
<br>
I've heard that Vodafone have devices that will work.<br>
<br>
Can anyone suggest or advise on this?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
<br>
PS Thank goodness I still have libraries in my area for internet access.<br>
