[Wolves] Internet with a mobile?

They dont seem to advertise the fact but it is hidden away in the business
section of their info. Other companies also do unlimited version but I dont
know much about it. You would have to be prepared to work very slowly
because at best its as fast as dial up, but if you just want to collect
emails or light browsing you're probably ok anything more intensive and
dialup drives me mad.

I think it should work where ever your mobile works because iirc its
basically a hack (in the sense that many very clever people spent years of
their lives working it out!) on top of GSM multiplexing GSM channels
together which is why it uses multiples of 9.6kbps, I live in Brum so
coverage dosn't matter to much to me :). You can also use it abroad so if
you get confused between Walsall and Warsaw you can still check multimap to
find your way home! 

3-mobile might also be worth a look, in theory they should offer much better
bandwidth (its a UMTS or 3G network), but they didn't really do data when I
started looking in to this.
