Pay as You Go mobile broadband most popular

Broadband Expert, the broadband comparison site, reported that more people chose Pay as You Go (PAYG) mobile broadband than mobile broadband on a contract, in October.

It is the first time that PAYG has been the more popular option.

During October 53% of mobile broadband customers took out PAYG deals compared with 47% who took out a contract.

O2 recently announced that it has cut the price of one of its PAYG mobile broadband dongles to £14.67 for a limited period.

The dongle offers speeds up to 3.6Mbps.
