BT E170 Mobile Broadband makes Internet Access Extra Easy
By Dean • Nov 11th, 2008 • Category: USBToday internet is a necessary part of our life. It’s hard to imagine work, entertainment, multimedia and other facilities without the Internet. But one thing which bothers most of net surfers is the overpriced Internet service offered by the top ISPs (Internet Service Providers).
In order to solve this issue the telecom giant, British Telecommunications, popularly known as BT has launched a new service. The company has launched a new mobile broadbank USB stick which will make the mobile Internet an affordable service. The E170 mobile broadband USB stick will allow users to connect to the Internet on the move either via a Wi-Fi hotspot in a BT Openzone or through the mobile phone network. While some WiFi sticks like the Netgear WG 111 GR USB only connect to the internet via a wireless connection, the BT E170 makes use of mobile broadband as well. Under this service up to 1 GB of data transfer is offered per month. In case you are in the BT Openzone wireless hotspot you get an additional 2,000 BT Openzone minutes each month. This is good because the free Wi-Fi hotspots won’t eat up your minutes. The BT E170 datastick is very easy to use. It has a built in installation software and is recognised by any computer instantly. The network coverage is good as well and the data transfer rates are amazing. If you are in the high speed network area, then this USB stick can offer you data transfer rates up to 7.2Mbps which is more than enough to download gigabytes of data in no time.
