Does anyone know, whether if, any 3G dongle's work on campus. Be it, orange, tmobile

I was wondering if dongles work on campus. Furthermore, I was also wondering if digital, usb sticks (for laptops), work on campus too. :smile:

anyone ?

I'm pretty sure I had 3G service with three on my phone when I was there on open days so a dongle with three should work fine

Orange supposedly have the best signal on campus. By next spring orange will have t-mobile 3G signal so it will be even better.

do orange and t mobile not already share signal? anyways, theres a 3g orange/t mobile mast on top of bowland tower (that big ugly b1tch of a tower in the main square) so orange has good signal. also depends where abouts you are on campus tbh

Unless you want to watch Sky or Virgin services, just watch Resnet TV. It's free, and requires little set up (and no other equipment other than your laptop and your ethernet cable).

They share normal signal for texting and calling but not 3G signal yet.
