Yes, it depends on how you use it BJSLIV. For someone like me who isn't resident in France & just needs to check email, it should be cheaper than the alternatives. I'd never surf at that price!

An alternative is a new service from Abroadband. You buy their dongle for just under £50 & the it's 59 cents a MB - you just pay when you use it, no monthly charge, etc. You need an Orange FR or SFR signal to use it in France See http://www.abroadband.com/en/GB/home for details. I'm thinking of buying one as it seems to be cheaper for my needs (in Brittany 10 -12 weeks annually). Has anyone else tried it? Many thanks.

I'm I just being a bit thick here, or does SFR now offer an internet dongle for 10 euros a month, even if you don't have one of their phones? http://www.sfr.fr/mobile-adsl/ This seems a good price to me. I wan't to use the internet on my laptop for the 10 - 12 weeks that I'm in Brittany each year. cheers, Roddy

[quote user="Judith"]I'm thinking of getting one (a dongle) when I get to France to supplement our existing broadband service, Any thoughts from the tecchies out there as to best solution for me???? [/quote] I've read that the supermarket chain Auchan now have a relatively cheap, USB dongle for internet access. Sorry, but I can't find the details this now. I did print them off, I'll have a look for it when I get the chance.
