O2 to offer free ADSL with mobile broadband

O2 have just announced their intention to give away free fixed line ADSL broadband with their mobile broadband packages.  Customers who choose “O2 Home Broadband Takeaway” will get an 8Mbps ADSL connection free of charge when they sign up to a £20 mobile broadband price plan.

O2 are charging a £30 connection charge, but oddly enough this is credited back on your first bill.  This price includes a free wireless router and USB stick.  The price plan includes 3GB of mobile broadband data and unlimited WiFi access via O2’s hotspots.

Vodafone’s femtocell won’t improve mobile broadband

vodafone_femtocellVodafone UK have just announced the availability of thier new “3G coverage booster”, aka a 3G femtocell.  This little box of tricks plugs into your home broadband connection and routes calls over the internet and onto Voda’s network.  This is welcome news for those of us with 3G handsets who are unable to access data services or make reliable voice calls due to poor coverage.

However, it’s not great news for mobile broadband users.  Although it’s unclear if the femtocell supports higher speed technology (HSDPA), the fact that it routes the data over your ADSL connection should be enough reason to rule it out.  If you’ve got ADSL at home, why bother using your mobile broadband allowance when fixed line is far cheaper and faster?
