Mobile operator Orange has expanded its mobile broadband tariffs offering business users who sign up to a 24 month contract, ‘unlimited’ 3G access for £17 per month. The Business Everywhere package ‘unlimited’ offer, in this case means a maximum download limit of 3GB per month.
Orange is also offering a Business Everywhere Daily option allowing occasional mobile workers the option to try the service, for £7 a day, with no minimum contract requirements. Users of the Daily service are limited to 1GB a day.
Users get an Option Icon 225 USB memory stick – a high-speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) device – and 250 minutes of UK Wi-Fi access per month. Orange's Wi-Fi partners are BT Openzone, The Cloud and WeRoam,
IT Week labs has trialled HSDPA connections and seen data transfer speeds around 690Kbit/s on the download link. Users not being able to connect to an HSDPA service in their area could connect to Orange’s Edge service which gives download rates up to 200Kbit/s, around three times faster than GPRS.
