a few of my mates live in Clayton and they all use o2 dongles so it must be a good connection around there

I think I have a spare 3 PAYG dongle and sim you could borrow for a while if you like Bernadette? Or even take it to the new house with a laptop and try it.

They are not satellite but work from the phone masts. I have found using an extension to move it near a window helped a lot in a tin box of a hotel i was in once.

3 do a wireless router that looks like a great idea. Stick it near a window or upstairs where reception is good and get a good wifi signal all over your house with do dongle stuck in your laptop.

Bernadette - I have a Vodafone one you are welcome to try when you move if you find the 3 one Accylass offered you to try does not work for you.

If you want my mobile number just in case PM me to remind me and I will reply with it.

Thank you Neil I'll get back to you if and when, Accyweb is brill

If you go to 'Sitefinder' Mobile Phone Base Station Database you can put your postcode in and see the phone masts near you.

There is a Vodafone one between Clayon Street and the M65, a 3/T mobile one on Henry street.

On Victoria Street there are O2, 3 and T mobile ones. The nearest orange one I could spot is on Blackburn road so that might not be very good for you.

Hopefully the 3 one will work for you as I think the price is good for what you get on the pay as you go one.

Why not ask your new neighbours how they get online because Rhonda said they are.

Yep I know they are and going to get Sky connected but just need a temporary fix while it gets sorted

Bernadette, I have t-mobile, 3G, and an o2 dongle, if your service is better on any of those, I can lone you one untill you get your line in, I think you have my number, and I will drop it off if you need one.

BERNADETTE · 15-02-2010, 10:34

Thanks for the offer Derek will see how things pan out

BERNADETTE · 14-04-2010, 22:38

Not been on much since the move but more to do with being comfy rather than connection. I'm using a 3 Dongle and as I say not a bad reception. Will see how things pan out but am looking towards getting a lap-top, think the dongle could be ok as a permanent fixture. Thanks for all the advise and offers of loans of dongles
