Buy nowOur mobile broadband network is really fast - most people will get speeds between 1 and 2Mbps - perfect for emailing or checking Facebook in double-quick time. A bit like with a mobile phone, the speed you'll get depends on things like your signal strength and location.
Your distance from the nearest transmitter, the number of other users in your area, and hills and buildings nearby can all affect your connection speed. But in areas of good reception, your speed could get up to our maximum of 4.5Mbps and you'll be downloading big files even quicker.
We continually test and improve our network to make sure you're getting the best mobile broadband experience in the UK.
