Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi connectivity is something you will find in every coffee shop, retailer, business and home these days, thanks to the proliferation of Wi-Fi routers. Wi-Fi is an extension of fixed-line broadband, in the form of ADSL or cable, that allows people to share their internet connection over a small area.

This means that you can sit on your sofa at home with your laptop, tablet or smart phone and surf the internet, chat with friends or stream movies. Modern games consoles also allow you to hook up to Wi-Fi connections for online gaming in a way that does not require trailing network cables across the floor.

When you are out and about with a device that has Wi-Fi functionality built into it, then you can search the airwaves for nearby Wi-Fi hotspots. Many businesses will let you hook up to their Wi-Fi network free of charge, provided you are using another of their services. There are also dedicated Wi-Fi providers that will let you log on to any one of their hotspots across the country for a fixed monthly fee.

The main benefit of Wi-Fi is that it gives you close to fixed-line download and upload speeds without the need for cabling. The biggest downside is that cannot be sure that any place you are going to will have an accessible Wi-Fi network for you to use.

Mobile Broadband

Mobile broadband is the second type of wireless internet that has become common in recent years. Most modern smart-phone handsets will have mobile-broadband connectivity as standard. If you choose a mobile-broadband package for your laptop, then you will probably receive a USB modem from your provider that will let you get online when you are away from home.

Mobile broadband is, perhaps unsurprisingly, based on the mobile-phone networks which are broadcast far and wide across the country and the globe. As long as you are in an area with 3G coverage, you will be able to get online and surf the web just as you would on Wi-Fi or a fixed-line connection.

Of course, the obvious benefit that mobile broadband has over these other types of service is that you are not restricted to a single location. Mobile-broadband providers usually have almost all of the populated areas in a country covered by their networks.

On the downside, mobile-broadband download and upload speeds are usually a lot lower than Wi-Fi or fixed-line connections. This is because there are far more variables affecting the service. The potential for sporadic speeds and occasional cut-offs makes mobile broadband much less attractive for some consumers.

The second point to consider is that mobile broadband usually has a much lower data limit to stick to than Wi-Fi or fixed-line services. Harnessing 3G data connections is still an expensive business, so you will have a monthly cap in either megabytes or gigabytes that you cannot exceed without being charged extra.

To sum up, the benefits of Wi-Fi are its speed, wide availability and compatibility with many different devices. However, mobile broadband is the most portable and flexible option. While some will choose one or the other based on these criteria, many people will actually use a combination of both methods to get online wherever they are.
