Why pay more for Internet that only works from home?

Unleash High-Speed Internet from virtually anywhere1

Stop sitting at home. Stop hunting for Wi-Fi. Experience the freedom of full connectivity and full productivity, wherever life takes you.

What’s great about it

Why pay for Internet at home when you can get a fast, secure connection on your laptop just about anywhere1 with a 3G mobile Internet stick. Leave the house, break out of the office, and enjoy the freedom of being connected in virtually all the places you'd rather be.

  • Just plug the stick into your laptop and you're set.
