3 UK’s mobile broadband offering was a clear winner in the new, hotly contested mobile broadband market.

The judges at Top 10 Broadband caried out extensive research on all mobile broadband providers before coming to the conclusion that 3 mobile broadband was the best.

Among the factors explored by the judges were:

Quality of mobile broadband device
Cost of mobile broadband device
Download allowance in packages
Package flexibility
Availability of laptop options

The flexibility and generous data allowances offered by their packages showed that the company is its best to bring excellent mobile broadband packages to the UK. Additionally, the strength and speed of their network, coupled with easy to use data modems, means that customers have an excellent mobile broadband experience once they have subscribed.

While other mobile broadband providers are only offering customers USB modems, 3 are including free laptops with their broadband packages. By including free laptops with their mobile broadband packages, 3 are mirroring the mobile phone market where customers do not only get a sim card but a free mobile phone with which to communicate.

Due to the depth of research we consider this to be the top award in a fast-emerging market which we will be tracking closely.

In response to their win, 3’s Head of Mobile Broadband Jonathan Lutz said, “To be independently verified as being the best mobile broadband provider is a great validation of all the work we have done over the past year. Our aim has always been to bring easy-to-use, high-quality mobile broadband at the best possible price to as many people as possible. This award is recognition that we are achieving this goal."
