What is ø Mobile Broadband?
ø Mobile Broadband lets you use the internet almost anywhere.
You can also connect to the internet through any of The Cloud’s UK Wi-Fi hotspots.
It’s faster and it won’t cost you anything.
Your USB Modem works on PCs and Macs, and it automatically finds the fastest
connection for you.
