I’m working from a remote location today.
I have two laptops, my Nexus 10, and my Samsung S3 phone.
Unfortunately, I have to connect to the Internet, now and then, to download/upload/edit various files.
I say unfortunately, because the WiFi connection is as strong as a spiders fart.
But that’s OK, because I can access H+ (or 3G at the very worst) via my Samsung S3, set the phone as a tethered WiFi hotspot, Bluetooth from my tablet (or either of the laptops), and Robert’s your Mother’s brother…
Instant portable WiFi connection to the Internet!
Except Vodafone have other plans…
Rubbish, obv.
You’re getting ‘G’. That’s something. Not much, but something. Though, to be honest, it’s bloody useless.
I’m on Three. The mobile network built for the internet. Supposedly. When it’s working well, it’s flippin’ brilliant and is usually faster than the hotel’s broadband/Wi-Fi link.
But when it’s not – bad area/weak signal/peak times/wrong sort of leaves on the line – then it’s nothing short of infuriating.
But I think all the mobile providers suffer the same issues.
